Fri Apr 27, 2012 4:58 pm by Spendrak
Abilities may still change before launch, but this is what I've gleaned so far, from various articles and gameplay. Please feel free to comment.

Warrior

Strengths: Durable, versatile due to access to weapons
Weaknesses: Melee, can be kited

Main hand
Sword: DoTs, movement
Axe: Burst DPS
Mace: stuns, dazes

2-handed
Greatsword: AoE for PvE
Hammer: AoE, control, good for PvP
Rifle: range DPS
Long bow: range AoE, but slower than rifle

Off-hand
Warhorn: movement, AoE buff/debuff, good for PvP
