Defender

Fighter > Warrior > Defender, fighting with a sword and shield. The Warrior line built to hold aggro and soak damage.

This page covers what's specific to Defender. The bulk of the leveling kit — everything both Defender and Barbarian share — lives on the Warrior page.

Skill names and every skill and buff description now show fully in Portuguese when the game language is set to Portuguese — only the skill name itself stays in English, to match what is drawn on the skill bar. Names below are exactly what is shown in-game; the numbers behind each one (damage, cooldown, MP cost) change with balance passes too often for a table to keep up, so check the in-game tooltip once you have learned a skill.
