The Warrior is the playable character class in the original Diablo. According to Diablo's backstory, many of the warriors in Khanduras joined their kingdom's army and went to war against the kingdom of Westmarch (which changed directions from "north" in the original Diablo manual to the more logical "west" for Diablo II). After suffering defeat at the hands of their neighboring country, the surviving warriors came home to a cursed land. Motivated by a large array of rewards, (glory, gold, etc.) the warriors went beneath the desecrated church to face the evil it housed.

Warriors are the physically strongest character class in Diablo. They can wield swords, axes or maces with ease. These weapons were either one-handed or two-handed. In later levels, the warrior has similar life to their earlier levels, but the monsters do much more damage. This often necessitates the use of a shield. Their amazing strength allowed them to wear even the heaviest of armor.

The Warrior's magical abilities are limited. With the lowest maximum magic of 50 and less mana per level, they are often forced to only use support spells like Stone Curse and Heal. With low base mana, these support spells could only be used sparingly. Since their low level attack spells could not effectively damage high level monsters, attack spells like Firebolt and Charged Bolt are usually not an option. Advocates and Succubi, who could teleport away from the player, were especially difficult. To follow them might result in aggrovating more enemies to attack the player. However, with lower light radius bonuses, the warrior could potentially reduce the number of triggered monsters.

The Warrior is the canonical vanquisher of Diablo and becomes the Dark Wanderer in Diablo II.

Repair Skill

The Warrior possesses a unique skill which restores an item's durability, but decreases maximum durability. It is often used in emergencies or when the warrior is low on cash.
