You are asking for feedback, so here it goes....
I stopped reading before I made it through the first section, "Word of Warning". Seeing paladins and raids discussed in detail in paragraph 1 was tough, and I was done by paragraph 3 or 4. I did briefly skim down through the rest of the page.
While it was clear you have put a lot of thought and effort into the "guide", it seemed very inaccessible to me as a novice (about certain topics), and by quick initial scan, kind of skimpy on the philosophy of warrior class choice, how to get started and the life of a lowbie to mid-level warrior.
I played live from 1999 to 2003-ish on Quellious, and was the guild leader of Magi Discordia. I never went past 35th level during my time in the game. And the time I spent on the game was devoted to our guild (recruiting, crafting and assisting with gear for our newer members), holding buffing and assistance events at different zones on occasion, farming steins of moggok (50+ times or so :P), and occasionally grouping with a small, select handful of friends.
True "raiding" was never part of my experience during the live days, nor was I ever very interested in discussing the finer points of certain game mechanics and other minutiae. I realize not everyone is like me, and that people's tastes vary accordingly.
Perhaps my perspective is in the minority these days, but if I was new to P99 and came to the page to learn about being a warrior, I would probably find another resource.
To the elite, the initiated and those in the know, I'm sure it's very useful. But to those who already raid, I'm going to guess they already have most of if not all of this information already.
That being said, this is a far greater effort to contribute than I have exercised during my short time here, 4 weeks or so. And it is clear you have a lot of knowledge and have placed a great deal of effort into this page, and care about it's quality and content, as you have asked for feedback.
My suggestions would be to consider reorganizing the flow of some of the information, and providing more detail and attention to getting started and surviving in the Classic world, as a warrior, and all of the options that come along with it.
During my live playing days, one of my closest friends and highest level player I knew was a warrior. He was a great brewer and smith, among many other things, and when I thought of him, I thought of master trade skills, cultural armor, and such.
Thanks for the opportunity to provide some feedback, best of luck with your endeavor!
