{{Historical}} {{DISPLAYTITLE:Guardian Fighter}} {{Infobox class |role=Defender<br>Controller |primary=Constitution |secondary1=Strength |secondary2=Dexterity |image1=Class_Icon_Player_Guardian_Selected.png |caption1=Guardian Fighter icon |image2=Class_Art_Player_Guardian.png |caption2=Guardian Fighter artwork |image3=1360803146980.jpg |caption3=Artwork from [http://www.perfectworld.com/media/wallpapers?game=Neverwinter Perfect World] |image4=ClassBanner_GuardianFighter.png |caption4=Guardian Fighter banner }} [[File:Icon_Build_Player_Guardian.png|frameless]] A fighter is a class with martial origin and excels in primary role of a Defender. The Guardian Fighter is a build of Fighter which uses tactics and placement while fighting the enemy intelligently. Guardian Fighter has a secondary role of a controller and is a warrior who fights with a shield and heavy armor, thus able to fight with a high degree of survivability and control the battle around him or her. A Guardian Fighter's high Hit Points and abilities make it acceptable for crowd control roles and ideal for boss tanking. Placement and tactics are very important for a guardian fighter. Guardian Fighters are proficient in Plate armor. When fighting the main bosses in dungeons, usually the best role for the Guardian Fighter is to grab boss aggro and drag the boss to one side of the area. Then the Rogue can do tremendous damage with combat advantage without having to worry about any of the adds. That way, the other three classes can also concentrate on what they are best at: crowd control and area effect damage for the CW and GWF, and, in the case of the cleric, keeping everyone else alive. Note that for some boss fights, this tactic doesn't work, and the Guardian Fighter should fall back on his secondary role of crowd control. == Ability Scores == {{epic|[[Constitution]]}} is the Guardian Fighter's primary [[Ability Score]]. {{rare|[[Strength]]}} and {{rare|[[Dexterity]]}} are secondary. {| class="wikitable" {{Table header ability score effects|con=primary|str=secondary|dex=secondary}} {{Table row ability score effects|Damage bonus|str=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|Resistance ignored|dex=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Combat Advantage]] damage|cha=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Hit Point]]s|con=4%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Damage Over Time]] (DoT) resistance|str=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Area of Effect]] damage resistance|dex=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Deflect]]ion chance|dex=.5%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Action Point]]s gain|con=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Guard Meter]]|str=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Control Bonus]]|wis=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Control Resistance]]|wis=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Recharge Speed]]|int=1%}} {{Table row ability score effects|[[Companion]] stat bonus|cha=1%}} |} == Paragon Path == The [[Paragon Path]]s available to Guardian Fighters are the [[Iron Vanguard]] and the [[Swordmaster]]. {|class="wikitable" |- | [[File:Class_Icon_Player_Secondary_Ironvanguard_Selected.png|256px|center|link=Iron Vanguard]] || [[File:Class_Icon_Player_Secondary_Swordmaster_Gf_Selected.png|256px|center|link=Swordmaster]] |- !
