The Warrior is Path of Exile 2's pure Strength class. It swings maces – usually with a shield or a big two-hander – and wins fights with slow, heavy blows that stun enemies and break their armour. It wears the heaviest armour in the game, which makes it forgiving up close.

Ascendancies

TitanBigger, slower hits, stronger stuns and extra toughness.
WarbringerWarcries and totems that call on ancestral power.
Smith of KitavaAdded in 0.2 – built around Kitava's forge and empowered gear.

Who it suits

Players who like melee, big numbers and being hard to kill. Warrior combat rewards timing: wind-up slams hit hard, so learn when to commit and when to dodge.
