Warrior (WAR) Abilities, Traits, Combos and Materia

FFXIV - Disciples of War - Warrior
On the northernmost edge of Ablathia's Spine, nestled between ageless spires of lime and granite can be found a small Hellsguard village, all but forgotten by time. However, it was not long ago that this isolated hamlet gendered countless fighters, trained to harness their inner-beasts and translate that power to unbridled savagery on the battlefield.
This art was known as the Way of the Warrior, and those who followed its teachings were eagerly sought by mercenary troupes, who, in turn, were sought by the warring city-states of the era.

Impressed by the warriors' prowess in combat, city-state armies soon began incorporating the ancient Hellsguard art in their training regimens, thus accelerating the proliferation of the fighting style throughout the whole of the realm.

Unfortunately, as the keepers of the art passed away or were slain in battle, so too did the Way of the Warrior fade, descending once more into the shadows of obscurity, where it remains to this day.

Patch 1.21 saw the introduction of jobs to FFXIV, which allows you to become one of the traditional jobs from the FF series after completing a quest. A Marauder can become a Warrior by equipping the Soul of the Warrior item after completing the first quest. The details for this quest are below.

Quest NPC Location Conditions
Pride and Duty
(Will Take You from the Mountain)		 Neale Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks,
Marauders' Guild (4,7)		 MRD 30, GLA 15

For each quest you complete, you will be rewarded with a new ability, while the latter quests will also reward you with artifact (AF) armour that is shown in the screenshot above. Below is a list of abilities that the Warrior job can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available.

Materia Selection


To get the most out of your Warrior, you should aim to maximise their stats through using materia that best benefits the job. A warrior's main attributes are STR and VIT, so focusing on these will be beneficial. Below is a list of materia that we recommend you aim for.

Slot Materia
Head Manaflight (Magic Evasion)
Body Savage Might (Critical Attack)
Hands Strength (STR) | Heavens' Fist (Attack)
Legs Ironman's Will (STR/VIT)
Feet Bloodthirst (HP)
Waist Touch of Rage (Enmity) | Touch of Serenity (-Enmity)
This depends on whether you are tanking or not.
