New Warrior

[Vaildez]

Going back to my original EQ class.... I created a Halfling warrior and put all my points into Stam. Was that a mistake? I see a lot of chat on the forums about maxing out Dex.

Thanks

warrior agro here is almost entirely from procs which relies entirely on dex. ultimately the starting points will make little difference but I would suggest stacking dex

At level 20 the sarnak liberator procs, at 30 deadwood staves proc. 37 yak clubs proc, and 40 ssoys proc. 50 for sarnak club I believe and bloodpoints. not sure what silken whip of ensnaring procs at . Any idea on other weapons that proc at earlier levels ?

Hey Vaildez

Here is something I posted in other thread should help. The linked thread is not my own just some useful information which lead to my three points .

Depending on your scenario solo/ duo/ group.

1. solo just go for dps unless you trying to slow / snare mobs.

2. duo : if you partner generates more hate than you are generating with your dps then you may need proc to help hold agro.

3. group : This is where you will more than likely need proc weapons to hold agro as you are more than likely to find people with equal or greater dps agro than you.

Being brand new to this server and knowing Warriors are very gear dependent... Am I going to have a rough time? I'd like to play a melee class that has some solo ability when i can't find groups...Am I better off going Monk?

[Buellen]

no you will not

lots of decent weapons are very cheap here. the one comes to mind is sword of skyfire. goes for like 100pp if not free. 10 22 hp 25 cha 5 <?>.

you will not have to worry to much about agro under say 20 and by then you should be able to farm 100pp easy enough hell bandits in karana < goodly races > can lead to a hundred plat in hour or two of farming. you can do them at various camps easy at 15 to 20.

on what to play that is you choice but as always play what will be most entertaining.

YES as a warrior you can solo but make sure you get bandages and YOU WILL HAVE MORE down time than say a monk sk, paladin. Soloing is not ideal but you will end up doing it sadly as their is not always a group to be had. Their is plenty guides on where to level xp etc.

PS Crook stinger is easily killed at level 9 or 10 his common drop is the crookstinger. not a fantastic weapon but its magical and proc a dot.

I did Fine steel 1-16, dual obsidian shards till ssoy's began to proc and the duo ssoys until Kunark, the only aggro issues I had were rangers with ssoys and of course monks, because they're dps incarnate with just about anything.

[Splorf22]

Aalpha gets it: proc weapons are trash at low levels, because the ones that will proc have horrible ratios. You'll hold aggro way better with a Jade Mace (9/18) than with an Obsidian Shard (6/25 or something equivalently bad). Plus, if you are grouped with a ragebringer rogue they will be tanking anyway, at least with good ratio weapons you'll be doing something useful.

Basically:

0. Sword of Skyfire (50p, 0-20ish)
1. Staff of Battle (800p, 20-)
2. 2x Lamentations/Jade Maces (4-6k, 30-46)
3. Sarnak Warhammer/Silken Whip (10k) starting at L46 when the warhammer will proc
4. Epic/VP (join TMO/FE)

my first character on this server was a warrior. i debated starting a necro first, to farm gear. i ended up having no problem just starting out with a warrior though. i encountered a lot of generous people. apparently they felt bad for me when i was killing crocs in oasis wearing just leather armor and using a rusty weapon. =p i was pretty well geared by the time i hit level 25ish.

Painbringer.

painbringer is no-drop

Can still get one at lvl 1.

dps holds aggro best proc weapons are for planar trash/gods/dragons with mallets on actual raid targets

only classes that are gonna take aggro from you are rogues (who can evade) or monks (who can fd)

so unless your playing with droolcups a WAR can easily tank with cheap dps weapons like jade mace/lammy/sword of skyfire/staff of battle/etc

worst comes to worst just have someone root the mobs in your group for easy proximity aggro control, honestly between all this info if you can't make a WAR into a viable tank you're just bad at EQ or lazy

[pharmakos]

worst comes to worst just have someone root the mobs in your group for easy proximity aggro control

both the most effective and the most underused tactic

when a mob is rooted, it just attacks whoever is physically closest to it.
