Save or Spend - Warrior

[Fireblade7]

I have about 18k to spend on my warrior who is 23 atm. (i should be spending it on my shaman but that's not the point of this thread lol)

Magelo Profile: https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Poscoe

I don't have Jboots currently. My thought process was buy the jboots and then a Reaver for lvl 30 and save 6k for Velious Plate gems at 45ish when I'm able to go to platehouse with my guild?

Then hopefully with some extra money i earn, i get some bloodpoints at 50 for when i cant get a group?

I liked the idea of silver chitin wrist bands now but i don't think the value is worth the cost currently. Anything else that's might be cheapish that would be worth it or opposing viewpoints?

[DeathsSilkyMist]

You should just save the money. Your warrior is similarly geared to my 23 warrior, and hes currently tearing through content solo. If you are mostly grouping, you will be fine for a while.

I would only get JBoots if you mostly solo. If you group mostly you are going to have SoW or ports often enough.

You should level this guy up some more before committing to buying a bunch of expensive no drop stuff. You should be able to hit at least level 40 with no trouble with your current setup.

If you are still happy with your warrior then, and you want to solo during the 50s when you can't find a group, use that 18k for a truncheon of doom and 2x bloodpoints. Those three items alone will probably eat up at least 12k, and you can spend the rest on jboots.

[Fireblade7]

Thanks! I’ll save and see how I like it then. Grouping when I can find one, otherwise solo is pretty easy atm.

My first character on live was a halfling warrior and this feels so much better than that did lol.

[Keebz]

I agree with DSM, but if you decide to blow your money on armor, look into the Dwarven cultural armor. Some of the pieces are amazing.

I tried the Truncheon & Dual Blood Points on my warrior. It never worked very well. Proc rates are too unreliable to depend on them. It was not unusual for me to get the mob down to 30% hp before the slow proc'd and then blood points would rarely proc. Was never enough to recover all the HP damage I took during the fight. At least not against Blue Cons at level 54. The biggest difference I noticed is when I was able to obtain the Fungi Tunic. My recovery time was so much better.

[long.liam]

Personally I wouldn't even recommend soloing on a warrior unless you have some type of regen. Otherwise It will be so slow. You will spend the 30 minutes in between each fight just Regening HP back to full.

[Toxigen]

Save for better haste. Will have the biggest effect.

CoF save dem pennies.

Agreed, haste would be better if OP plans on mostly grouping. But I wouldn't buy a CoF. You only need 34% haste to reduce your delay by 50%, and CoF is like 20k more expensive than a seahorse belt. The extra 2% haste is not worth 20k, especially in OPs case where he doesnt have a ton of cash.

As for the discussion around Truncheon of Doom + Bloodpoints when soloing, it heavily depends on the mobs you are fighting. If you are soloing as a warrior you need to pick your targets wisely, ideally very low blues. That combo should be more efficient than a fungi on the correct mobs. I do agree fungi is amazing, but OP is about 35k short right now.

I'm a big fan of the CoCW. Gives you the warm fuzzies knowing you're getting 36% haste, while much less pp than the CoF. 50 hp isn't a big deal, and the CoCW mana can be used when you inevitably shift that item to other hybrid twinks. Plus the extra savings can help you save towards a lodi belt which is a really nice combo.

OP, with 18k to spend, I'd get a truncheon, reaver, and then maybe 2x bloodpoints if any money is leftover. I did a war solo build and I think the slow proc/static regen was the most important. I'd honestly just skip thurg armor and get the dorf cultural armor to upgrade slots if needed, and worry about higher end armor at 60.

CoCW is so much cheaper than CoF just because 50HP is that much of a big deal. If you can save for a CoCW, then you can save for a CoF.

I would not recommend CoCW.

Neither the 50 HP or the 2% haste is a big deal. Get a seahorse belt if you are on a budget. Buying a CoF is only worth it if you are a rich player who can afford to spend 20k on a very small boost.

If you really want a CoF they aren't too difficult to get on your own if you have a few friends, between Ragefire and Ixilblat Fer.

[Samoht]

CoF may only be marginally better than seahorse, but it is still better. Get seahorse over CoCW for sure, but same logic applies:

If you can save for a seahorse belt, then you can save for a CoF.

[Ripqozko]

Buy nothing , app vanquish, get dkp, get shit for free , ???, Profit

[Fireblade7]

Once I get to my guilds static grouping range (around 35-40) would you suggest I sell the iksar bp and they plus 18k and some extra get the seahorse belt? Or should I just save more and keep the regen bp?

Edit: When I do get the seahorse belt, I’ll continue saving to get the cof eventually or loot as that is prolly a possibility.

[Ravager]

I'd stick with the Regen. Leave the DPS to the DPS classes and just buy some cheap proc weapons for aggro. Unless you're soloing, haste doesn't really buy you a lot and you can even solo without it. JBoots will make you happier than haste and an FBSS is good enough until your 50's if you really wanted it. By that time you'll be grouping in good cash dungeons to save up and buy whatever you want. At this point in the timeline you don't need to spend a ton to be effective.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

I would only sell the iksar bp for haste if you plan on only grouping. More haste means you generate more hate, and the regen isn't doing much mitigation work anyway with a healer. But if you plan on mixing group and solo play, keep the iksar bp for faster solo recovery.

[Solist]

18k? easy.

Buy a reaver for 5-6k. 40/40 to level with is imbalanced and outrageous.

Save the rest for better haste, a truncheon of doom and two bloodpoints for lvl 50-60 duo/trio.

Add better haste as it comes along. Reaver first.

[bradsamma]

Reaver is absolutely the way to go. Sell everything except the staff of battle for the rare magic mob.

Go to platehouse with your shaman and get the helm, arms, boots, gloves, and legs. Shouldn't cost you more than 1500pp for all of that in gems. Get a FBSS.

I'd buy an iksar ceremonial BP with the rest of it.

Oh, dragontooth choker to your neck slot.

Idol of the thorned range.

Back would be ancient seahorse hide cloak.

And shoulders get barbed dragonscale pauldrons.

[Fireblade7]

Did want to give a quick update.

Got a reaver and I started tearing through mobs at 30. My agro wpns seem comparable to it for keeping agro, which is nice as long as the rest of the group doesn’t outtwink or our level me.

Wasn’t going to but I also got a deal on jboots for 3.5k from a guildee. Still have 9k atm.

Loving this warrior.

[bradsamma]

Good stuff! A good 2h'er will be way better aggro than proc weapons in exp groups.

Heck. I use a rocksmasher for aggro when I need an exp buffer in groups and I even have a freaking feverblade. (Not spending the dkp on a palladius).

Re: other gear. Haste > truncheon > regen (ikky bp) > bloodpoints.

Truncheon is amazing after 50. Seriously. Once it procs you take 50% less damage. Some fights you’ll get unlucky, but others it’ll proc right away. Assuming decent (>100) dex, it makes things killable as a solo warrior.

Still faster to group, but you can at least kill things while waiting for a group pickup.

[bradsamma]

Man, before the BW nerf, I'd solo at 59 with blood points and an iksar BP and never lose life.

[wagorf]

CoCW is terrible investment, it's freakin hard to sell in today's market, and even harder in the future

CoF is the way to go for haste, or get seahorse belt because it's the second easiest haste item to liquidate after

blood point is a waste of time, dual wield life tap looks good on paper only. even if you somehow acquire the 150hp lifetap VP 1hs weapon, u still gonna have lots of down time, let alone a 80hp lifetap bloodpoint

btw, never buy at market price for these items. it's buyers market today, especially for non-end game droppables. set a discord notification for the items you need, and let sellers compete for price.

CoF for haste

This is all of the strength!

When you spend almost two years collecting Ancient plate and you realize that was all the fun.

[hekbringer]

All the fun?! No way thats when you pvp!

[Jimjam]

Got a runed blade, rod of lamentation, scimitar of ykesha and trochilich skean. 10k budget. where would you put it? could probably get frostreaver and infestation for free so don't suggest them. Armour worse than champions. SCHWs for haste.
