They can maintain aggro while mages do their thing. They are the second best class when it comes to survivability, and are a pretty well rounded and balanced class

Taunt and Stun. It's really all you need.
I've pulled mob trains off of people, stopped bosses from killing whole KQs, been the reason why people could complete their quests (instead of mass dying), and generally been as helpful as my cleric has been. That's with ALOT less stress (no one REQUIRES me to do any of this except in parties, and even then it's not DEMANDED) and, oddly enough, less difficulty.
It's not because of my damage, which has took a painful blow thanks to the current bugs, and it's not because of my 'tankiness' (STR 2h-Axe. My cleric can do better even when I'm sword/shield). It's ALL because of Taunt and Stun.
Run up to the monster, Kick, and that monster is harrassing NO ONE. Cleric pulls a mob train, Mock, Shield/sword, then stone spam. Mara comming while Marlone is being fought? Mara gets the kick! Fighter comming on the other side? Fighter gets the Stun! Mages and Archers getting reckless: Kick Kick and they can be as crasy as they want! Fool can't hold a boss? Mock, run to the corner and sacrifice. With a stun and a little luck, I can even leave a monster be and go somewhere else (nature's protection won't even allow that when solo, since you NEED someone there to grab the aggro off you)
Warriors are not the 'tanker': anyone can tank. We're really not the aggro-holder either, since a Clanking cleric or the highest DDer can do the same. Warriors are mob controlers. No matter the situation, type of creature, type of party, type of warrior build or number of creatures, the battle is where we want it to be, when we want it to be. No one else can do that as easily, reliably, or effectively as a warrior can.
This is what makes fighters great. This is why both pure END and pure STR fighters work, and even why it's good to have fighters beyond the 'main tank'. Clerics keep the fighting going, mages make the fight worthwhile, archers make the fight efficient, but warriors are the directors.

Honestly, being a fighter myself. I think being a fighter is all good up untill you hit level 50. Then all you are pretty much doing is tanking, 'hop on your mover, round up mobs, mock, devastate' it's very repetative and very boring. I managed to get to level 58, but have now decided to change class. But don't get me wrong, fighters are probably the most useful class to be, but seriously boring. Time to start pwning with my mage :D

I kinda have to disagree with u on that, a good build with a good set of equipment can solo really nice :), if u know how to manage your economy and don't have problems making money the fighter is the best soloing class.
YES CLERICS can heal , yes CLERICS will save lots of stones which implies money, BUT unlike clerics FIGHTER can actually kill before they grow a beard, although i know some clerics that hit HARD as HELL *cough* bubu *cough*, most clerics can't dish out even half the damage a fighter can.
I can solo up to 5 or 6 navars at once killing all of them in pretty fast.
MY POINT is this, if as a fighter u get bored of tanking just go out there and solo or go do some kq and have fun :P, or have another fighter tank while u play damage dealer :).

fighters rnt a big showoff class our weps look the best that we have and we do have the largest variety of the wep but mages get these huge moves with big explosions but they suck of sp like crazy archers personally my fave they are mild tanks with awesome damage clerics are boring also mainly just healing few moves personally i h8 tanking but hey thats me i have issues trusting clerics unless ive partied be4 and i kno they will keep me alive
mages=u better be rich cool weps armor is okay..
archer=fun but requires common sense >.< something i find most archers lack=p cool weps ugly armor
cleric=heal heal heal!!!! and if the party wipes all ur fault!! cool armor and some cool weps
fighter=meat shield or emergency meat shield/2nd deva at lvl 43 but cool weps =) ugly armor

To me nothing beats being a Fighter. There's the outfits, the abilities, and of course the weapons. I mean who doesn't want to slam people into the ground with a weapon almost as huge as you, its quite fun. And stress relieving too. n.n
Not to mention your in charge of keeping the entire party safe from harm which can we quite enjoyable in its self. Your the one out in the field taking all the hits and walking them off likes its nothing. And you watch as people stare in amazement when you have over 5 people hitting you at once who cannot take you down in PvP. Not much beats that sort of feeling. Or when your AoE-ing and to bring a huge mob over then stun them all in one swing of your weapon. Sure fighters skills arn't that flashy but they get the job done. And thats all that matters. :3

When you compare skills and what they do, a Fighter almost always makes a natural party leader. In order to make an AoE party more survivable, you need someone who can control the mobs, keep aggro off the mages/archers, and pull off the stuns as needed. But I solo a lot, so this really isn't too great for me. What makes this class shine for me even being poor is the debuffs. The skills fighters get at somewhat low levels make soloing MUCH more fun and a lot more efficient. At level 35, every fighter can lower dexterity, attck rate, attack damage, defense and even stun anything all at once.At level 43, we get a skill that makes our mock look even more impressive than it does just in a party: We get devastate. An AoE damage/stun move that affects 10 targets. Why I love a fighter so much is that our roles are not limited at all to just being tanks: We can be DD's, soloers, tankers, and even just aggro control. Fighters, to me, are the most versatile class you can find.

I just succesfully tanked King Slime for my first time ever today (tried it twice, failed the first time because the clerics were murdered) and I agree, I loved being a figurehead =P.

I just think it's fun being a girl wielding a huge axe on everything. XD (Power Shot rocks... >_>)
Although if your bored with your Fighter, make a cleric, they're technically fighters with less HP and not as much dmg. (And can heal =3) (And vice versa, I got bored with my cleric)
