Overview
The phalanx is the Tier 4 class of choice for fighters wishing to follow a more defensive path. The phalanx has the highest defensive potential, allowing players to maximize their heavy armor and defensive shield passive skills. This class is also the first of the fighter classes to have the option to learn magic based offensive skills. The phalanx is a highly valued group member, able to gather many enemy mobs together at once. This class is best suited for tanking giant bosses.
