No matter how much you say "man up, make your own groups, try and experience the content solo", it still bowls down to not having enough players near you to form a group, and it being too hard to solo as a warrior. Bind wound can only get you so far.

Also I don't like the way you guys are describing this trickle down effect for the economy, not only is the gear not that great and probably way too expensive for the warrior to even consider... but youre assuming hes just gonna wait for everyone else in the game to become uber just so he can get their throw away gear?

I dont think that we should put extra hp regen in the game while youre out of combat or anything, but I dont see whats wrong with at least letting bind wound goto 100% health or something.
Way back when I read a guide a warrior (think it was a troll named Fitty) put on castersrealm or stratics.

He had some good advice, things like a "sit pull" (may not work here, but when it started to run, sit down immediately and it shouldn't go far, and will come back shortly, works pretty well outdoors), use weighted axe when pulling as a warrior (you might get double attack, then turn off autoattack and equip another weapon running back to group, "your own little harm touch").

One thing he said though, was that an indispensable part of being a warrior was spending time in EC, trying to get your hands on equipment "no warrior of your level should have."

An approach a lot of people have used in the past on new servers is to play a druid or necro and get to 50. Then farm plat or items so you can play the class you really want to play.

If you are playing without twinking or help I'm pretty sure you can get either of those classes to 50 in the time it takes you to get a warrior to 30.

Then you give your warrior or rogue or whatever a wavecrasher and full crafted. Probably the FSS. After a couple expansions crafted would be considered trash equipment, but you get the idea.

I can tell you though, that if you play a warrior straight up from day one, it is going to be pretty hard to acquire the kind of gear people expect on a warrior. You'll be 49 and people will say "you only have that many hit points?" Or "why aren't you holding aggro" (cause you don't have 2 j-sticks or a SOD or whatever).

If you want to play a warrior (or paladin or sk, cause they technically can solo but really can't; they are just too slow and can't do the content alone the caster classes can) unless you start on server day 1, you are going to use hand me down equipment.

It is the nature of this game.
