Warrior main - semi-casual player

[one_chill_cat]

I have a Barbarian 52 Warrior - and I would like to grind him to 60, but..

Are warriors as sub-par as everyone says outside of raid tanking?

I've never been on a raid - and unless my work changes I likely won't ever have the free time that allows bat-phoning. I would love to get in on some raiding but have no experience so I assume I'm not going to be picked for the tank?

Am I wasting my time leveling up my War vs my Pally? I like dual wielding, putting out respectable DPS and tanking. Pally is an option I just find the Warrior much more fun.

I don't have any raid gear, but am decently EC twinked/geared (minus some of the more expensive QoL items like some Cobalt clickies / Shrink bracer etc.) Sboz/Frostbringer have been doing a pretty damn good job holding aggro so far. Also have a wavecrasher but Sboz white dmg has been doing the job.

End goal: Crawling, Item/Treasure hunting, some raiding if I can get in on it

Appreciate any input!
