A Guide to the Protection Warrior (in PvP)

A. All-Purpose Equipment

Your All-Purpose Equipment outfit is pretty much what it says: it’s designed to be able to handle all situations with relative efficiency, since you can’t change Armor or Trinkets when engaged in combat. It’s effective against all opponents, and is the set of choice when facing hybrid classes or any opponent that doesn’t fit into the melee or caster archetypes. It offers a good balance between offensive power and defensive power, possessing strong Strength and Stamina boosts, along with a smattering of +Defense and +Critical. It lacks large amounts of any kind of Resistance, however.
