Below, I have outlined some viable skill builds and glyph builds for the Warrior that I have found to have worked quite well. Keep in mind that this guide only covers a small aspect of the Warrior. If you want a full Warrior guide to show you the perfect builds and how to completely max out your character in every way, I highly recommend the Argon's Guide.
There are literally dozens of different skills that you can unlock for your Warrior as you progress throughout the game, however you are only allowed to equip a handful at a time. Having the proper skill and glyphs equipped in your toolbar can make all the difference if you want to dominate your enemies in Tera online easily and quickly. Below is a build that I have created after much experimentation. It focuses primarily on tank and pulling aggro away from your teammates. I will show you the skills that I have chosen as well as two good glyphs that go along with the chosen skill. Keep in mind that this Tera Warrior tank build is designed around my play style and might not work as well for you as it did for me.
Battle Cry is one of the first AOE abilities that you will be able to unlock. This skill will allow you to stun and taunt everything within a 7 meters of your character. It has a cast time of 1.1 seconds and its cool down is 30 seconds. A great skill to stun and pull aggro away from hurting DPS teammates.
Swift Glyph: This glyph increases the cast time of Battle Cry from 1.1 seconds to .55 seconds. An important glyph that you should consider to get when taking this skill to PVP, however in PVE it is not as important.
Glyph of Energy: This glyph decreases the cool down of Battle Cry by 20%. Although it is not a lot, being able to use this skill more often can serve you and your teammates well.
Smoke Aggressor is one of your most efficient utility skills that you will be able to unlock at a huge cost. It costs 200 mana + 20% of your current HP to cast and has a cool down of 50 seconds. This skill will spawn a shadow of you with 7.5x your HP at cast, but will deal almost no damage. However, when spawned it will pull AOE aggro from all mobs around the shadow for 20 seconds.
Glyph of Energy: The only glyph that I would consider using for this skill is the Glyph of Energy. It reduces the cool down of Smoke Aggressor by 25%, so that you will be able to cast it more frequently in times of heavy mobs or bosses.
Torrent of Blows is your multipurpose AOE taunt. This skill allows you to slash everything that is around you two times for a decent amount of damage to generate threat. You also take 50% reduced damage every time Torrent of Blows is activated.The downside to this skill is that it cost 300 mana to cast, however it only has a 7 second cool down.
Glyph of Threat: This glyph adds 20% more threat. An important glyph to consider if you have a weapon that lacks + threat modifiers.
Glyph of Numbing: This glyph gives you a 25% chance of rooting your targets for 4 seconds. An excellent glyph to get for PVP.
Pounce is an effective skill to add mobility to your character. It is a short ranged leap attack that deals good damage to the target and slows them for 50% of their movement speed for 4 seconds. You also take 50% less damage while performing the leap. I added this skill to the tanking build because I found it effective to quickly move to a hurting teammates position, slow and damage the enemies and pull aggro with Torrent of Blows right after. Has a cool down of 10 seconds.
Swift Glyph: This glyph increases the speed of the leap by 30%. Without the glyph, the Pounce is rather slow, but with Swift Glyph, it is much quicker and much more efficient.
Glyph of Energy: This glyph reduces the cool down of Pounce from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
Charging Slash is a charging skill that will definitely help with mobility. It cast time is instant, cost 240 mana to activate and has a cool down of 12 seconds. This skill is a straight line dash, which is then followed by a single medium attack when you connect with your target. This is another skill to get to an enemy quickly and the ability also pulls aggro.
Glyph of Powerlink: This glyph allows you to gain a 20% or 50% damage bonus on your next Combative Strike if activated with 8 seconds. A helpful glyph to help provide extra damage to heavy mobs or bosses. Glyph of Energy: This glyph reduces the cool down of Charging Slash by 25%. Important glyph to consider for PVP to catch players that are kiting.
Having the right crystal build for your Warrior in Tera is just as important as the right skills and glyphs.
Below, I have outlined the crystals that I find to be the most effective for your weapon and armour in tanking situations.
WEAPON Threatening- Gives a flat percent threat bonus
Swift- Gives your character extra movement speed while in combat
Savage- When attacking mobs from the back, you will get bonus crit damage
Forceful- Gives strength buff on back critical
Slaying- Gives critical multiplier when you are below 50% HP
Carving- Increases your critical hit chance by x percent.
ARMOUR Resolute- Reduces damage taken when you are below 50% HP
Warding- Receive 50% chance of shielding when knocked down
Relentless- Increases your maximum HP by X amount
Anarchic- Reduces damage taken from BAM monsters by X amount
Stalwart- Reduces damage taken from normal monsters by x amount
The builds above for the Tera Warrior should be used as a guideline. The reason I say this is because these builds are targeted towards my own personal preference, play style and of course builds are never set in stone. Builds for your Warrior will always change depending on the situation/scenario you are in and also differs depending on factors such as your own play style, equipment and hot keys. However, there is a way to know exactly what is the best build to use in every situation as an Warrior.
