Iksar Warrior gearing help

[Gain]

Best suggestion I could make for your iksar warrior is to get him to KC and get him some Jarsath armor. Best part is that it is free. As far weapons try and make sure you have one of each type (ie 1h slash, bash, piercing, 2h slash, bash, and piercing). As far as aggro control, well....don't sweat it so much as most casters are prone to root mobs anyways. Also try to use weps that have around a .5 damage/delay ratio (until your mid to late 30's for proccing weps).

[Vexenu]

Primary: Jarsath Trident 11/22
Secondary: Cane of the Tranquil 11/25
2HB: Sarnak Battlehammer 30/40
2HS: Nathsar Greatsword 17/30

Don't pay over 100pp for any of these. And don't try using inferior ratio proccing weapons while leveling, it's not worth the DPS hit.

I've been slowly replacing my warrior's trooper scale armor - I can throw you a few pieces if you're interested.

That would be awesome and very much appreciated [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Everyone else, thanks for the information; I am currently looking at picking up the weapons Vexenu listed and as many armor pieces from my list as I can pick up. Would this last me until I'm able to start farming up my own Trooper Scale armor?

This is good advice. For your primary weapon till the mid 30's and probably a little beyond, I'd highly recommend a Staff of Battle. This is your best DPS choice and your DPS potential will be your best thread generator. As a warrior, you're simply not going to hold aggro full time, but the staff will help you establish it, and help you kill faster. I used SoB until 37, then switched to dual SSoY for the majority of the time for the procs and sheer beauty of the weapons.

Vexenu has some good suggestions, but IMO it's worth spending more than 100p on weapons which will have far more bang for the buck than armor. Especially I'd get a Fist of Zek and Staff of Battle, and at 40 stop everything and farm until you can get a Frostbringer, which is only a few k. Also, when you see the Iksar 2H slashing animation you'll realize you can just skip 2HS.

Armor wise, the best bet is probably jarsath. Trooper Scale is probably not worth it, because by the time you could do the quests (L30) it's probably going to be much better to just plow to 46 and go to the Plane of Hate/Sky. The Iksar Planar armor is basically equivalent to cobalt in AC (when combined with the AC bonus) and it has more stats and resists.

If you want to save that plat and use it on weapons, I will help you with your iksar warrior armor quests on my main. Just send a tell to Soui and I'll help

[donniesmithers]

to all of the fine folks offering their help (much appreciated and no obligations), when would be the best time to get your assistance in game? I have a very flexible schedule, so just give me a time and I'll be on!

If I can get full/a decent bit of trooper scale armor from other people's help that'd be awesome for my character!

A jade mace or lammy will do more for your aggro than any of the cheap proc weapons.
