Rolling a warrior but not sure which race/deity.

[Haymaker]

I will be roleplaying, I can't really decide what race or deity to pick for my warrior. Kinda narrowed it down a little, Barbarian of Rallos, Human of Karana, Human of Rallos, Human of Prexus, Human of Bertoxxulous, Half Elf of Bertoxxulous, Half Elf of Karana, or Troll of Innoruuk... Maybe Agnostic Barbarian

Was just wondering some of the pros and cons of these choices.

Thanks

[Jimjam]

Clearly there is an error in your narrowing down process. Brell Halfling.

Hide and Sneak are so useful. Often you can score single pulls where other warriors couldn't, you can complete quests you wouldn't otherwise have the faction for and sell to any vendor.

Starts with high dex to help with those procs. Str is easy to cap.

You can also wear dwarf cultural armour.

If you insist on making the wrong choice I'd go for a rallos barbarian. You'll be able to faction more easily with velious giants this way and you get slam.

[Fiyero]

Half Elves make the sexiest warriors and look best in armor.

But Halflings level the fastest.

[Potus]

The few. The proud. The Gemchoppers.

[Sheriff]

Ogre by far the best to roleplay.

[kaev]

Ogre is pretty much pure unadulterated minmax choice, unless you mean best choice to roleplay a munchkin.

[Tecmos Deception]

Ogre for lifetime minmax.
Iksar for absolute end-of-the-line minmax (maybe).
Gnome for tiny with awesome helmets.
Halfling for convenience and neat tricks.
Dwarf for barrel rolls.

Other races if you want to fight the power, or something.

[Daldaen]

Iksar. Dat regen and AC bonus. You lose shrink bracer and invis legs I guess. But meh.

[Snagglepuss]

Human Rallos. Bobbarker, Snacks, Olympia, Mikeo, Merimac... need I say more. Steel Warriors, now that's a club I want to be in. Eye patch, porn stache... profit?? Escape from New York style?? Snake Pliskin?? Giant Faction come Velious!

Rallos humans look awesome in the rust red human cultural armor. Just beware that the you will be KOS to the Butcherblock dwarves as they hate Rallos followers.

[Rhambuk]

Im a halfling chick rallos war. fun to charge into battle screaming and raging.

WRAAA HOBBIT FRENZY!

[Juntsie]

Juntsie advise Troll because regeneration, superior intellect, and stunning gud looks. Great bashers and better role-play. You Troll. You can practically get away with anything if sound dumb. People really surprised when you smart, cuz they perceive Troll grammar as dumb, when in fact, it is an artful expression of Troll powa.

ROLL TROLL TODAY!

[Whirled]

Iksar. Dat regen and AC bonus. You lose shrink bracer and invis legs I guess. But meh.

AND... from what I heard...iksar is the master race :D

As you are going to Role play Min Max is not important. What is important is to find the diety combo that fits with the style of role play you will doing. Bretox / karana / rodcet Warriors would be difficult to role play because of starting locations. It would be easier to play a Warrior from around Freeport are as you will find lot opportunities to role play because of the denser player base around their.

Rallos Humy armor is rusty looking; Karana is live olive color, Rodcet nife is plane steel look, Bretox is purple i believe, Erolis is gold, innoruk is purple also, not sure on mithaniel marr.

Mith Marr requires imbued diamond. I doubt you will see any of it unless somebody is making a point of conspicuous consumption as it is not even close to being worth the cost.

Bertox is even stupider than Mith Marr, requiring imbued black sapphire. As with Mith Marr, I've not made it nor seen it on p99.

Pretty sure Erollisi Marr (star rose quartz) is not golden, but more steel with pinkish highlights (have not made any in over a year tho, so might misremember.)

Karana (plains pebble) isn't really "light" olive, more of a medium grey with a strong olive tint (at least on my monitor, and my human cleric does wear it.)

Innoruuk (sapphire) is dark purplish that looks pretty good on human female, kinda meh on human male.

The Rallos imbued field plate (jade) looks best on Wood Elf imo (slight orangish tint to the red), but is pretty good looking on Human and Barbarian as well.

Woah, missed this, my bad. :( You won't go wrong listening to Juntsie, he is a troll of discriminating taste. (I hear he knows over 9000 different recipes for preparing froglegs.)

[phacemeltar]

i was just bouncing around MM on my barb warrior, getting stuck on torches in every room when it hit me: wood elf warrior would make an excellent puller.

[Clark]

Ogre warrior.

[Kytross]

FrogLOKs. 9000 recipes for preparing frogloks. Not that a Halfling druidy would ever try something like fried froglok tacos...

Mmmm tacos...

(I'm not off topic, I'm roleplaying)

[mrmop520]

Halfling- being able to sneak is pretty huge!

[Fiyero]

Half Elves look the best imo, Halflings level fastest and little tiny warriors are kinda funny.

[Wiery]

Human Rallos. Bobbarker, Snacks, Olympia, Mikeo, Merimac... need I say more. Steel Warriors, now that's a club I want to be in. Eye patch, porn stache... profit?? Escape from New York style?? Snake Pliskin?? Giant Faction come Velious!

Rolled a rallos wood elf and discovered this the hard way. Fortunately, you can kill crap tons of goblins outside of Kaladim and rep up. It's a far better leveling area 1-5 than GFay too.

[Potus]

Will gnome warriors be able to swap out dwarf cultural gear for watchman clickies? Right click 40% haste is awesome.

How many goblins did it take you to be non KOS in Kaladim?

[Wiery]

How many goblins did it take you to be non KOS in Kaladim?

It wasn't too terribly bad. I would say around 100 or so. May have actually been less. By the time I reached level 6ish, I had a bag full of bone chips and enough faction to let me through to turn in the bone chips.

[Potus]

How many goblins did it take you to be non KOS in Kaladim?

It took my Cazic Thule-worshiping Iksar about 400 dead orcs to become dubious to Kaladim, so I imagine a Wood Elf who picked the wrong god only needs a couple levels to get the dwarves to turn the other cheek.

[Duncon]

CB orcs do it too?

[Blakthorn]

Rallos Troll all the way.

[Jimjam]

I think the most important thing to remember is while everyone else, supposedly the greatest heroes of the realms, were fannying around, dealing with their own personal dramas, being weighed down by what they though was or wasn't possible ...

Samwise Gamgee simply walked in to Mordor.

Halfling warriors get it done.

[Waedawen]

Half Elf warriors always seem to have this mystique about them that makes them the truest, baddest mother fuckers. Behind that, any of the Short Races. Dwarves are tight, and Gnomes and Halflings are little fucking monsters.

And all of these races have sick Dex.

If we're talking about true, inner-passion Role Play then Halfling, Dark Elf, or Troll is the way to go. Halfling Warriors are fucking deputies, bro. And being an Enforcer for the Indigo Brotherhood is something definitely worth carrying around. Half-Elf Warrior of Innoruuk could have a pretty fucking cool back story, too.

[cabinfever]

Halfling Warriors are fucking deputies, bro.

pretty badass

[Fiyero]

Half Elf and Halfling are a tough choice. Half Elves just look so awesome in plate, it's hard not to want to go with them. Plus high Dex/Cha is nice.

[PDX0621]

As much as I love being an Ogre warrior for various reasons, the size can certainly get in the way. After spending a long time above ground, I was in LGuk briefly last night. Could barely see what I was doing in 3rd person being so big/tall, and literally gave myself a headache and had to log in first person, with the screen shaking and moving. Maybe something to consider.

[Jauna]

Ogre has the best stats all around, but fairly low DEX. If you make an Ogre War, put everything into DEX and enjoy that frontal stun immunity
Trolls are like ogres but with less str/sta and no frontal stun immunity, but higher dex and regeneration
Barbarians are a nice choice if you dont want to be KoS everywhere. High str/sta, moderate dex, able to use medium/large armor
Dwarves are amazing all around warriors, their cultural armor is fantastic, highest dex, great sta/str, welcome in most good cities
Iksars give up shrink bracer and other plate clickies for more AC and regen, KoS everywhere however.

Kinda falls off from there if you want to min/max-not faction grind all the time. I have a level 30 woodelf warrior myself and aside from looking pretty in that shiny blue armor and a froglok crown, I have like 110 sta and like 105 str with moderate twinking. Shitsucks.
