Thanks to everybody for your input! I really appreciate you helping out. A couple things I'd like to clarify:
I am not in it to solo. I don't mind grouping, in fact it is preferred. I just didn't know if I wanted to raid originally, but after further research have decided that I definitely do. I was frustrated by my inability to hold aggro in groups when I was messing around with a low level warrior but if that really is just a gear/level thing I'm not too concerned. I feel like gear will come with time, at least based on what I've read in this thread. Also my main is a cleric (albeit he's still lower in level now) so once I get a little higher with him I'm sure I can make some easy plat with rezzes and such to help gear my warrior. At least that's what I'm told.
I will make sure I'm stocked in bandages regardless though and I'll for sure take all of the advice on starter gear I can get. I do have a full set of small banded armor which is probably okay for lower levels (I'm speculating here so please correct me if I am wrong about that). I'll make my way to Qeynos for some of the other things mentioned.
As far as race, I kind of hate how Ogre & Trolls's look so I can't see myself ever playing one and I don't care much for Halflings. Barbarian, Dwarf, Dark Elf & Iksar are my top options, but I could be persuaded to play a Half Elf, Wood Elf, Human, or Gnome if there is a good reason to go those routes such as solid unique gear. I've had a lot of people say one race is better than another which is fine but I will take aesthetic over min/maxing any day so long as I'm not going to completely struggle with the option. So rather than asking what race is best for a warrior, I'll ask are there any races I should stay away from if I don't want to completely struggle?
Thanks in advance.
