Warlord

Warlord
Warlords are upgraded Warriors. They retain the Warrior's proficiency with Two-Handed Swords and Spears, but lose the ability to wield knuckles. To make up for this not-so-significant loss, they gain upgraded versions of the Warrior's skills.

Their main stat is Strength, which provides a flat bonus of roughly 0.42 damage per point.

Warlord can become a Dragoon at level 140.

Pros

 * You have much more range in your attacks than you would as a Blader.
 * Warlords are nowhere near as ping-reliant as Bladers.
 * Your attacks will generally hit a little bit more often than Bladers, due to Warlords having the Concentration Misc Skill.

Cons

 * Warlords are harder than Bladers to use - they can't just hold down the weak attack button and occasionally tap the hard attack button. (Though this could be a pro, if you find Bladers to be boring because of how they attack.)
 * Warlord's (and Dragoon's) 5th tier skill is inferior to Blader/Strider's 5th tier.

2-Handed Swords

 * Mostly aimed in front of you; very little rear coverage.
 * Wider base damage range than spears - higher max, but lower min.
 * More inaccurate than spears are, due to masteries.

Spears

 * Skills can hit on both sides of you.
 * More stable base damage, though spears won't hit as hard as 2-h swords.
 * More accurate than 2-h swords are.
