When I started playing FFXI, 5 years ago, I started as a mere WAR01 with no Support Job. Being new to the game at the time, it appeared to me that this was taking forever to get 75WAR. My name is Whitetiger, and this is my Ultimate Guide to Warrior!
==Purpose for this guide== 
As I leveled other jobs to 75, I continually notice that Warrior's sometimes don't know what they are doing, about equipment swaps, support jobs, TP setups, etc... This I'm hoping will clear the air for that because even some of my greatest friends struggle with equipment and what not BUT that is why I am making this, to give the best advice Possible!
I'd also like to note that I am still learning today about Warrior, some people may disagree with my ideas, views or even facts BUT this is JUST A GUIDE, Learn from it to better your WAR everyday. Feel free to send Msgs with results or questions too, can't kill.
== Support Jobs ==
Unfinished, will continue to edit daily... Working on Warrior Weapons guide
== Weapon Choices ==
== Abyssea Update ==
With many a long wait for an updated guide for Warrior's in abyssea, I will begin to work on a guide that will help warrior's with equipment and what is NOW required to become a good Warrior. As more and more people are now Keying Warrior to 90 and soon 99 probably, I'm seeing a pattern that people either have gimped skills or just don't know how to gear up and play the job correctly. 
== What's required of Warrior's now? ==
1. Red Weakness Proc's
2. Blue Weakness Proc's
3. Damage beyond other DD's capability while surviving.
4. Back up tanking, yes you heard me right.
= Red Weakness =
On some Abyssea NM's, these things called Atma's drop, as well as some Key Items to pop a higher Notorious Monster. With the red weakness proc'd you are almost guaranteed to get the key item and atma. What makes warrior so great for this? We can proc all of the weaponskills except for Katana, Great Katana and Dagger. Here is the chart of weaponskills needed and i'll tell you everything Warrior can use.
Red Weakness Triggers By Weapon 	Red Weakness Triggers By Weapon 	Red Weakness Triggers By Weapon

Lets analyze this. Of the weaponskills listed Warrior's can't perform Blade: Ei, Cyclone, Tachi: Jinpu, Energy Drain and Tachi: Koki. Thats 5 of the 13 weaponskills warrior's cant perform, the good new is a simple Ninja can. Here are the minimum skills required to perform these weaponskills. 
Club:40
Great Sword:100
Polearm:70
Scythe:70
Staff:150
Sword:125
Now granted with you're Skill that low, TPing on Monsters will be hard as hell. So I'm going to suggest getting Atma of the Voracious Violet or any other atma that pocesses a Regain status. Strong note, subbing Samurai will help with gaining tp without actually attacking a monster aswell. Some people are impatient and will also go tosuch measures as to stack tons of accuracy and put on Accuracy or DEX Atma's and try to TP on Monsters. While this may work since the monsters in the area will most likely be Decent Challenge to Even Match, it requires the use of Atma's which you're only limited to 1-3.
