Damnit.

Been back on p99 for like a week now and already have the urge to make alts.

I want a dwarf tank.

I have a 30 elf war here, I hate myself because I wanted to be pretty. I think I put everything into stamina but I have a whopping 75 str, 100 sta, and 80 dex. There have been dark times in Mistmoore as everything pounded my fragile something something.

On live, I played a Paladin for whenever whenever the planes came out to whenever WoW came out. I still wake up at night having regrets.

So, my only option is to remake into a dwarf warrior. I have limited funds and I can solo a decent amount of quests/camps and whatnot from being a 55 bard main here.

So, when making the dwarf warrior I see two options, everything into DEX or everything into STA. How important is DEX to procs?

if youre rerolling for min/max reasons go ogre

otherwise stay with ur elf and be pretty imo

Keep up with the glamor/fashion quest... In the end you'll find it's the only stat that matters.

Play whatever race you find visually appealing.

You can easily max your stats with gear and buffs. Whether it's for racial bonuses (sneak, slam, etc.) or aesthetics, play what you want.

It's not at all easy to cap stats as smaller races unless you have access to North Temple Veeshan gear, which most players don't. Thing is, you don't necessarily *have* to max out your stats to do your job well, either. If your elf Warrior buffs to 225 stamina instead of 255, you'll still be within 5% of the maximum life of a capped Ogre Warrior in equivalent gear and be able to tank all the usual stuff low to middle tier guilds raid without any fuss, anyway (kael arena, kunark stuff, ToV East, etc).

An elf Warrior with 75 base strength and no twink gear would be pretty painful to play. I dislike playing any plate-using melee unless I have a minimum 100 starting strength or (now that Velious is out) a lot of +strength gear. The original poster might not want to shelve his elf Warrior though: unless someone plans to power-level him, he can probably acquire sufficient money to buy some +strength gear more quickly than he can level a Dwarf to the 30's to replace his current character.

If you're determined to make a Dwarf, both Dexterity and Stamina-based builds work out okay in the long run.

Maybe try a troll warrior? Regen is incredibly usefull, especially if you have no other means to heal up. Of course trolls are not pretty, but they do look funny.

[nothsa]

female barb is a good looking ish and stat wise race

[Jauna]

Welp, looks like I may keep the Elf Warrior afterall. But since I am 30 I honestly cannot remember how I kept agro.

Are there any moderately priced Velious weapons I should be looking out for? If I remember right, Yaks dont proc until 37, yak clubs until 40 and such

Wizards job is to root mobs for you (stand closest to the rooted mob and it will attack you regardless of aggro). I'm pretty sure this is a group wizard's primary role, since it sure as hell isn't dps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
