The Warlord can be an extremely powerful class if played right. This is specifically because he comes equipped with the [[CYDSTEPP]] glyph, which is one of the most powerful glyphs in the game. The most important general tip for playing a Warlord is to immediately cast CYDSTEPP at the start of the dungeon, then keep your eye on your mana: when your mana hits 10 again, you effectively have two extra hits in combat. Engage with an enemy -- once the game tells you you're going to die, hit the monster again. You'll be saved from the deathblow. Then cast CYDSTEPP again and hit the enemy one more time. Getting two extra hits in will ensure that you can easily defeat monsters that are 1, 2, and sometimes 3 levels above you. This tactic even works for Gorgons. Given their low base HP you can easily take out a high-level Gorgon if your attack bonus is high enough.
