Question about warriors

[Dalem]

I have been contemplating rolling a warrior for this server, but I have some hesitations. I really dislike large races and want to either roll a half-elf or a woodelf. My question is will I be able to tank adequately even with the subpar stats or will I be so gimped that noone would take me as a tank? Knowing how group reliant warriors are I wouldn't be willing to roll a warrior if small races aren't viable. Thanks

Shouldn't make a difference really in the long run. Sucks not having bash in classic though.

You'll be fine. The question is whether or not the non existent AC mitigation issue is going to be addressed or not. You might be even better off as an elf with more AGI.

small race warriors are very viable , i was planning on making one myself

while ogres and trolls have a clear advantage to stam / str it fades with levels and becomes smaller

the biggest bonus is being able to wear full suits of bronze , carry backpacks and have some minor coin

the hp boost isnt as big as you might think , make a shortie war and a ogre war level each up and compare hp , youll be surprised


the stun resist is nice but for lower end eq it does nothing trust me

you dont see anything hitting hard till kael / tov on these classic boxes anyways , and it dont hit fast enough to stun lock a war out of his aggro job

Thanks for the speedy replies. Looks like I'll be playing a warrior!

I think the biggest thing people overlook with the "which race" game is size. Sure, a troll and ogre are better than say, a gnome or dwarf for most classes that have the option for both. But you know who people are targeting in group/mass PvP? The trolls and ogres, because they are so easy to follow both for melees and casters. The more people targeting you = the quicker you die. No one targets the dwarf warrior if there's an ogre warrior.

I dont know why people think stats dont matter in the long run.

thats the complete opposite... stats like Stra and Sta really dont mean shit in the begginning until you are high level.

And when your lvl 50 the difference in HP between you as a wood elf and an Ogre will be very substantial, not takin into account any gear your looking at a 300ish diff in HP (maybe more)


High str once the damage cap is removed (at lvl 20 or 24?) will make a difference in your max hit, your max crit, and ultimately your max crip.

either way you can succeed just dont beleive the hype that it doesnt matter cuz theres a big ass difference.

green your str / stam will be capped in the end easily

the difference is ogres and trolls can wear the full bronze and not be encumbered


clearly elves / shorties have an agility advantage and they arent annoyingly huge

and yes ogres get over targetd in pvp , easy to see thats the price

Since i'm bored I thought i'd add some negatives too haha, since my post made ogre seem like the only way to go.



Being an ogre warrior was a HUGE pain in the ass sometimes. In dungeons with no shrink pots was unbelievabley shitty.

Also randomly getting ass raped by KOS NPC's I stumbled across and didn't expect really sucked. Like going through the tunnels in FP to get to the boat there is 1 super NPC who is KOS while none of the others are, shit like that was annoying and made multiple shitty CRs,


Another thing that sucks about ogre war's is having to go sooo far out of your way just to sell shitty dungeon loot, there are so few evil merchants around classic norrath its pretty gay.


Another thing that was pretty annoying was the bind points, good races get way more conveniant places to bind, like wfp for example. Ogres got oggok, grobb, and neriak. Neriak is ok for sol b, and grobb is good for guk, but both are so far away from anything else where as wfp is kind of a handy get to everywhere place.



When it comes to the actual FIGHTING part ogre is the way to go, when it comes to the other 90% of stuff like running to groups getting binds and all the other stuff that kills all your gametime ogre war is a fucking pain in the ass haha.

anyways hope that helped.

Does anyone know how much hp warriors get per point of stamina at 50?
