Warrior : Bursts

Warrior

Adrenaline is the Warrior profession's unique mechanic. As the Warrior attacks, adrenaline is built up and can be spent on a single powerful burst attack. Each weapon set has a single burst skill which has a variety of different conditions that improve with more adrenaline. Adrenaline has three levels, and each adrenaline level increases the effect of the burst skill, and can also provide the Warrior with other improvements like increased damage or health regeneration.
