Weaknesses
The Fighter is built to take a lot of dicks, and be in the middle of a fight. However, when compared to the Strider, or Mage, they don't possess quite enough DicksPS, and are weak to magical attacks.

Also as the fighter is a melee class and has no ranged attacks (excluding using items). They are not as good at fighting enemies that are in the air unless the enemy gets close enough to the ground to teabag them.
