00:03The Guardian Fighter is a heavily armored melee class that focuses on absorbing massive amounts
00:09of damage. The key to success is knowing when to block and how to time the fighter's abilities
00:14based on what an opponent is doing. The fighter can obtain dozens of different skills. These are
00:20just a few that are available at earlier levels. The Guardian Fighter's most basic attack is Cleave,
00:26which is mapped to the left mouse button. If positioned well, a Guardian Fighter can use
00:31Cleave to hit several enemies in a wide arc. An alternate basic attack for the Guardian Fighter
00:37is Tide of Iron. Click the right mouse button to shield slam a target and weaken them for further
00:43attacks. Holding the Shift key puts the fighter into Guard mode, a defensive stance that minimizes
00:49damage from incoming attacks and nullifies control effects like Stun and Knock. Lunging Strike is
00:56the first encounter type ability that Guardian Fighters receive. With a fairly short cooldown,
01:01Lunging Strike is the perfect way to close the gap to an enemy. It's also useful as an intercept if
01:07an
01:07enemy's targeting a party's cleric. Terrifying Impact is the first daily power the Guardian Fighter can
01:13access. The fighter slams his sword into the ground, creating a massive fissure that ripples forward.
01:19This powerful ability is also a great way to set up the casters in a party. For example, knocking down
01:24a
01:24group of enemies with terrifying impact will ensure that a wizard's area spell does maximum damage.
01:30With powerful abilities on both offense and defense, the Guardian Fighter is an essential
01:35member of any adventurers in Neverwinter.
