maximizing warrior gear...

[questever]

With roughly a 200k budget, what are some of the items I should be focusing on obtaining?

Let's exlude Fungi Tunic and CoF for obvious reasons.

In the end, haste and regen are the key components.

Max out on big bags to hold gear and get various aggro weapons for different purposes. Things like Wavecrasher, Frostbringer, Blood Point(s), Truncheon of Doom, etc...

Also, load up on DS potions so you can solo more effectively.

You won't spend all 200k, so focus on getting to L40 and then spend the money on power-leveling.

DPS - Reaver and Herbalist's Spade
Run Speed - Journeyman's Boots
Enduring Breath - Fishbone Earring or Lodizal Shell Shield
Slow - Truncheon of Doom, Midnight Mallet (charged)
Snare - Silken Whip of Ensnaring
Root - Any of the spider nets, and more the better
Invisible - Incarnadine Breastplate (self only), Cobalt Greaves (any target)
See Invisible - Bracer of the Hidden or Living Thunder Earring
Shrink - Cobalt Bracers, Amulet of Necropotence
Tash - Journeyman's Walking Stick
Clickie Haste - Eyepatch of Plunder (camp yourself, or buy LR on parts)

Either or both of the dragon bags, Tinker bags, Soiled Bag
Velious Armor Set (just the gems, or buy the MQ or both)
Coldain Ring 7/8 (do it yourself, buy partially, or buy MOQ)
PoM Flowers

Warrior shopping is endless, and this is before the green dragon scale, NToV tradeables, loot rights, tears, tradeable warder loots, etc etc...

For your original question of maximizing warrior gear for a dark elf soloing mostly with a 200k plat budget:
The stats you’d want to focus on since most of the time you won’t have anyone around while soloing to buff or heal you: Haste>Regen>Str>Ac>Sta>HP>Dex>Agi*(as long as you are over 75 Agi if not then that is #1 priority)

Below is a list of items you can buy in EC that prioritize the above listed stats:

Matchless Dragonspine Vambraces
CoF
Fungi
Living thunder earring
Finger bone hoop
Crystal chitin boots
Gem encrusted ring
Rune etched wedding ring
Gauntlets of potence
Hammerhead helm
Barbed ringmail legs
Dragon tooth choker
Barbed dragonscale mantle
Blood runed girdle
Silver chitin wrists x2
Idol of thorned

Calculated the list costs about 130k, gives you: 15hp/tick regen, 36% haste, 116 STR, 212 worn ac, 43 sta, 26 dex, 20 agi

Which leaves you a good chunk of change for Eye patch of plunder, that would have to be MQd. Which is buff haste and will stack with worn haste.

Namsaknoi already posted about other items I’d agree with for utility and such.

Oh and port also:
Worker Sledgemallet (buy puppet charges if you don't have faction), Leatherfoot Raider Skullcap

200k is a decent chunk of change. But maximizing warrior gear for what? Leveling? Or raiding? Cause you can easily spend that 200k on either and it won’t help you to do the other.

At this moment in time, leveling for sure. Got a ways to go for raiding

Then there’s the follow up question. Gearing for soloing or to group? Or having gear for a mix?

Just due to your original question of maximizing the gearing, you can spend quite a bit of plat on certain items and it will maximize you for very specific functions.

I'd say 80% solo, 20% group

Soloing especially at earlier, mid levels

Sorry one last question, what race and diety? Since we are maximizing there would be a difference in suggestions between a dwarf, gnome or ogre.
