make a monk.

Ah my bad, must have changed. I know it was proccing sooner than that but that was like april 2010.

Pick the one that you will play.. period. Having better aggro won't matter much when you're down the line, a pissed off slow-swinging shadowknight dreaming of dual wield. If a troll warrior is what you love, that's the only one that makes sense to play.

Besides, obsidian shards are completely within your grasp.. saw one selling for 100 plat a few days ago, so technically you could already obtain one. Just farm some bone chips and HQ bear skins (bears are around your level anyways) and you can also get full bronze in a pinch.

On a sidenote.. if you want a melee class, love the dual wield spam, are really worried about aggro, and just want to do group content- then a rogue or monk would be ideal (their DW spam will put a warrior's to shame). That is if you're not set on tanking.

how much do obsidian shards go for now? i quit playing my war due to not being able to pull aggro away from anything, but I have a bit of cash for twinking now

I think they're still around 300pp. You might also look for the Whip of Strangulation and the Goblin Skull Crusher. The skull crusher will outdamage the Gnoll Hide Lariat and it procs stun at level 15 according to Zam's. Pretty sure I saw one going for just 100pp the other day.

For the OP - Another thing to consider if you don't have much play time, find a duo partner. Or just camp in the dungeon where you intend to group. I've made plenty of experience in 2-3 hour sessions. I agree with the SK penalty woes, I have an SK alt and it's agonizing to watch the bar slowly inch ahead.

thanks broseph

warriors are a fun class, can lvl up quickly, but more then often when making a group i'd rather have a hybrid tank, my personal favorite tank are paladins, sk's will always keep the agro on them selves quite easily, just wish more peeps played pals, but have fun thats what' were all here to do

This

And this. If you really enjoy the Troll Warrior, I say go with it. You're only here to have fun, anyway. SK may be easier to tank with, but if you don't dig the SK it's still time wasted because you're not enjoying your character.

Added bonus: Troll warriors are really rare on this server, oddly enough, so you will be one of a kind. :cool:
