Warrior (Final Fantasy XIV)

The art of the marauder was first born in the crucible of brutal ship-to-ship skirmishes. Found to be just as--if not more--effective on dry land, this fighting style relies on one's ability to properly direct the force generated by the axe's heavy blade. Thus the techniques employed by a marauder seek to maximize the destructive potential of our chosen weapons. The axe is used to rend, to cleave, and to destroy. It is not our way to simply outfight our adversaries; we seek to overwhelm them. A marauder must be the most powerful and enduring presence on the battlefield; we must account for the most enemies defeated. Our role in combat is that of a steel whirlwind, dealing death and destruction without equal.

The Warrior is a Job in Final Fantasy XIV, introduced as the Discipline of War Marauder in the original release. Players start as a Marauder, and then may upgrade to Warrior using the Soul Crystal obtained from the quest Pride and Duty (Will Take You from the Mountain) after Marauder reaches level 30.

Profile[]

Marauder[]

The marauder is a combat specialist who wields the greataxe—a fearsome arm emblematic of Eorzea's pirates. Their approach to battle is one of brute force, relying on strength and steel to crush enemies and sunder weapons.

They are highly sought after for their ferocity and intimidating presence, and are often employed to hunt down monsters plaguing the land, or turning the tide of battle between warring nations. Throwing axes, such as the Francisca, supplement the marauders' arsenal, making them fearsome adversaries even at range.

Lodestone

Marauders attack with an axe and equip heavy armor. Their main role in battle is that of a Tank and many of their attacks have the added effect of increasing the enmity in enemies, forcing them to attack the Marauder instead of other party members.

Marauders generally have the highest HP pool of all classes. They possess abilities capable of restoring their own HP while damaging enemies. As such, Marauders are often seen as a more reactive tank, as opposed to the more proactive Gladiator class. Despite being a tank, Marauders have a high damage per second ratio.

Warrior[]

On the northernmost edge of Abalathia's Spine exists a mountain tribe renowned for producing fearsome mercenaries. Wielding greataxes and known as warriors, these men and women learn to harness their inner-beasts and translate that power to unbridled savagery on the battlefield.

In former times which saw war waged ceaselessly in Eorzea, the warriors featured prominently on the frontlines of battle. With the arrival of peacetime their art has descended into the shadows of obscurity, where it remains to this day.

Lodestone

Warrior extends Marauder's tanking capabilities, as well as massively increasing their capacity for damage and self-healing. In the right circumstances or in late-game, a Warrior will deal burst-damage every bit as effectively as a melee DPS class, though their trade-off of defensive power for increased healing from attacks means they'll need to frequently use defense-increasing cooldown abilities. Also, their proficiency in self-healing means that in the event of their Healer down, they can force through dungeon bosses by themselves. In story, Ardbert is an important Warrior character.

Story[]

History[]

The Marauders of Limsa Lominsa appeared out of both convenience and necessity. Both the lumbering and maintenance of the pirate's ships necessitated the use of dual-handed axes, naturally leading them becoming tools of war during both boarding at sea and disputes on land.

Manipulation of the Waraxe progressively led to the establishment of a school teaching those uses and the Marauders Guild was founded. With the Galadion Accord forbidding piracy, the Guild lost its secondary goal of utilitarian teachings to focus on the martial wielding of the axe and its membership changed to gloryhounds using their strength for the good of the new Lominsan society.

With the fusion of the Knights of the Barracuda and the Maelstrom, the Yellowjackets, the infantry of the former Navy, effectively became independent and established their new headquarters with the Marauders in the Coral Tower. This reflected in their training mainly comprised of axe-wielding and since recently, gun shooting.

The only text known to have recorded the history and techniques of the Warrior is thought to have been penned more than five centuries ago. No knowledge of Warriors previously to this time has ever been unearthed-the true origin of the clan's fighting style obscured beneath the dust of ages past. No matter their beginnings, however, in the era when the city-states traded in naught but discord and strife, the mountain tribes people who fought with the unbridled ferocity of wild beasts were highly valued as mercenary conscripts.

But despite the many victories warriors earned upon the battlefield, their esteem was tarnished by accounts of frothing berserkers lost to the red haze of carnage-tales of those who had slaughtered friend just as readily as foe. As hostilities between nations gradually shifted towards peace, the fearsome presence of a Warrior, once so welcome in times of war, became a thing to shun. And though it is said that some vestige lives on through a remote clan in Abalathia's Spine, the art of the Warrior has now all but faded from the world

Marauder[]

The Warrior of Light applied as a Marauder to the Guildmaster, Wyrnzoen Saelsmyndsyn. The guild's mission, as of now, was to hunt a massive monster named Kujata that terrorized La Noscea. Thus, he sought many proficient fighters.

Kujata is capable of dealing wounds that cannot be healed so it claimed many victims. After chasing the beast's trace on La Noscea, the guild sent its most proficient fighters alongside the Warrior of Light and finally cornered it. With the guild's Marauders acting as meat shields, the Warrior of Light finally slay the beast.

Warrior[]

The Marauder guild contacted the Warrior of Light, informing them of monsters rampaging in Costa del Sol. The monsters were afflicted by mysterious force, making them go berserk. When they were fighting the monsters, a Roegadyn wearing barbarian armor came to help them. The man introduced himself as Curious Gorge and he praised the Warrior of Light's battle prowess. Curious Gorge hailed from a village in Abalathia's Spine and sought proficient fighters to bestow his village's technique of the job Warrior. Although Curious Gorge warned them about the danger of Warrior's Inner Beast, the Warrior of Light accepted his proposition, and Curious Gorge gave them the Warrior soul crystal.

Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood[]

Broken Mountain received a message from the Marauder Guild to do some sparring. Inviting the Warrior of Light and Curious Gorge, they arrived in Moraby Drydocks to face a force of masked Marauders. After defeating them, it appeared the masked Marauders were led by Wyrnzoen, the Marauder Guildmaster himself. Suddenly a lone Marauder was going berserk and attacking the guildmembers, even defeating Curious Gorge. The Warrior of Light was tasked to calm that Marauder, which revealed a Xaela Au Ra named Dorgono Qerel inside. Dorgono said that she was being overwhelmed by the Will of Qeresh-Inner Beast-and she was exiled from her clan. Thus, Broken Mountain decided to train Dorgono in the way of Warrior to tame her Inner Beast.

Broken Mountain, with Dorgono as a Warrior-in-training, called the Warrior of Light for help in subduing a force of rogue Mamool Ja. The group, alongside some Maelstrom soldiers, arrived in the Floating City of Nym and defeated the enemies. Curious Gorge appeared and criticized Dorgono, saying that she held herself too much in fear of her Inner Beast taking over. Dorgono rejected the criticism from a man weaker than herself, so they parted in anger.

At the news of Mamool Ja attacking Wineport, Broken Mountain asked the assistance of the Warrior of Light again. This time, Curious Gorge volunteered to help. They spread out, and while the Warrior of Light defeated their enemies easily, Broken Mountain stated that the Mamool Ja were stronger. Worried about Curious Gorge and Dorgono's group, the Warrior searched for them. Then they saw Dorgono losing control again as Curious Gorge failed to stop her, until ultimately she managed to retake control. Ashamed for losing twice to Dorgono, Curious Gorge fled. Dorgono asked the Warrior to come with her to Azim Steppe as she owed her newfound control of the Inner Beast to them, but the Warrior refused as they still had important duties in Eorzea. After seeing Dorgono depart to Azim Steppe, Broken Mountain revealed that Curious Gorge had fallen in love with her, thus he could not fight with all of his strength.

Broken Mountain worried about his brother, who was last seen boarding a ship to the Far East. He was certain that Curious Gorge was searching for Dorgono, so he asked the Warrior to find him. They found the Roegadyn on Azim Steppe, as he revealed that the Qerel settlement was under attack. Finding Dorgono, she explained that the Qerels were attacked by the Chaghan, people consumed by their Inner Beasts that were exiled from their clan. She was determined to avenge her people and earn back her clan's trust, asking help from the Warrior of Light and even Curious Gorge.

Before the battle, Curious Gorge helped merchants from Reunion. He revealed the vexing emotion that inhibited his true strength was the love he bore for Dorgono. To cast aside any lingering feelings, he planned to profess his love to her. The group arrived in the Chaghans' settlement and a fierce battle soon ensued. They found themselves victorious, but Curious Gorge was overcome by his Inner Beast. Though he seemed beyond reasoning, a confession of love from Dorgono brought him back to his senses. Dorgono asked Curious Gorge to return with her to start anew as part of the Qerel clan, but with a heavy heart he declined. He vowed to become the better Warrior, hoping to someday be worthy of her affection. Dorgono bid both Curious Gorge and the Warrior of Light farewell and departed to at last rejoin her people.

Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers[]

The Warrior of Light met Curious Gorge in Apkallu Falls and recounted their adventure in the First, especially their encounter with the Cardinal Virtue Dikaiosyne. Realizing that his time with Dorgono might be cut short like Dikaiosyne with his princess, Curious Gorge departed immediately to Azim Steppe to find Dorgono.

But, Dorgono actually came to Eorzea with his father, Luvsan, who wanted to express his gratitude to everyone that helped Dorgono overcame her Inner Beast. Meeting with Broken Mountain, Luvsan revealed that he is a boo - a spiritual healer - and decided to heal Broken Mountain's psyche that prevented him to fight again. While hunting for some moss, Luvsan proposed that the Warrior of Light to marry Dorgono, but his daughter rejected it angrily while saying her heart has found another.

The ritual succeeded and Broken Mountain's ability as a Warrior is restored. Curious Gorge, that returned back from a port upon hearing that Dorgono is on Eorzea, saw the Warrior of Light and Dorgono are having a moment. Overcame with jealousy, he's overtaken by his Inner Beast... but Dorgono knocked some sense into him. Realizing his daughter's true feelings, Luvsan proposed that Dorgono stay in Eorzea to train until she's fit to wed. In the end, Dorgono stays with Curious Gorge to train and become the better Warrior.

Equipment[]

Marauders and warriors predominantly wield two-handed axes. Their armor is primarily made up of "Fending" gear that they share with other tanking disciplines, boasting the highest defenses among all armors. At lower levels they also have access to lighter armors used by DPS disciplines. While the these items' bonus attributes may be of use, it is important to weigh their benefits against the defenses lost.

The primary attributes for Marauders and Warriors are strength and vitality, which boost their attack power and HP respectively, and should be prioritized over other attributes. As tanking disciplines, they have access to the tank-exclusive tenacity attribute, which boosts their damage done and healing received, while also lowering damage taken.

Job Gauge[]

The Job Gauge was introduced to players in 4.0 Stormblood. The Warrior uses the Beast Gauge.

The Beast Gauge indicates whether a Warrior is in a defensive stance (Defiance). When the Warrior is in Defiance, the symbol on the gauge will be a bronze, helmet-shaped design. Defiance increases Enmity from the enemies. The gauge itself will fill with Wrath when the Warrior uses certain weaponskills. Wrath is required to execute actions with devastating power, such as their iconic Fell Cleave (acquired at level 54).

In PvP, the gauge is used to fuel specific abilities and can be refilled by utilizing combo attacks.

Other appearances[]

Final Fantasy Trading Card Game[]

Warrior and Marauder appear in Final Fantasy Trading Card Game as Fire-elemental Forward cards.

Behind the scenes[]

Warrior's skillset, choice of weaponry, and artifact armors reflect Berserker rather than the archetypal Fighter or Warrior that appears throughout the Final Fantasy series, or even Final Fantasy XI's Warrior job. This is alluded to in Shadowbringers with the appearance of a Berserker in Heroes' Gauntlet, who functions nearly identically to a Warrior with the only real difference being in the use of a greatsword instead of an axe.

The Warrior soul crystal resembles the Taurus Zodiac Stone from Final Fantasy Tactics.

Square Enix's Eorzea Cafe served a dish called "Roast beef of monsters ~hunted by Marauder~" whose description translates to: Wild beasts hunted by the rock-shattering Marauder done roast beef style. Lather up your opponents in bloodbath sauce and smite them down!
