Warrior Dex Gear Suggestions Needed

[jhandor]

Hello friends,

My girlfriend is starting a Barbarian shaman to catch up to my Paladin. I have some old STR gear and a Fungi on standby, so I was going to create a Barb and be her bodyguard / killing machine monster while she levels.

I have a venomous axe of the velium brood, and thinking of DW'ing a frostbringer once I get higher.

What I could use some help with is suggestions on some warrior DEX gear that is 3k plat or less. I remember a 10 - 15 DEX cloak, etc.

Suggestion lists for Warrior DEX items would be greatly appreciated. Always wanted to try a proc warrior.

Thanks,

Jhandor

A warrior when leveling doesn't always hold the attention of the player like the other classes.

The exciting point in leveling when you get your next slow, charm, buff, teleport etc.. just isn't there as it is with the other classes.

So gearing can be where the fun is.

I set out to have a warrior with 255 dex at all times who had a number of procing weapons and let me tell you it has been a very fun journey.

This is the gear I accomplished from the start for my warrior that gave me 255 dex.

(all gear was bought, however, some were very rare)

I have a lot of procing weapons and it help to find the ones you want to get from this list.

The best from level one, was the Doljonijiarnimorinar

It proced often and was a lot of fun to lay out the mobs very early on. I would almost consider it a powerleveling weapon.

For procing buffs -
Best fun was the Cat o' Nine Tails (swapped it in and out for the buff starting at level 20)

Next best fun was the Beetle Stinger (swapped it in and out for the buff starting at level 30)

Next best fun was the Luminary Two Handed Sword (a Cha buff ... But not needed)

For low level fun and mob control was the
Glaive of Marltek - (Procs a Snare at level 15)

And I am currently at level 53 with the Truncheon of Doom - (Procs a 50% slow at level 50)

Lastly for soloing I do use two Blood Point and they do proc often for life steal

For faction farming I use the Earthshaker or Sword of Skyfire - Earthshaker for fun

Last fun procing item is for those annoying debuffs; the Glowing Black Sword (You don't need it thou and you don't want to use it in group)

I don't have a the Paebala Warbone but I hear that is fun too
(Oh this reminds me, I need to verify whether there is some type of aggro that carries from putting the illusion debuff on the mob. I think there is.)

I want a Herbalist Spade to test aggro control

I have a no drop Wish List to test aggro generation and that is:

And I am working with the Bow of the Huntsman with A Weighted Axe (I don't think it affects procs and there are too few procs even with 255 dex. Something is borked.)

.. the Exquisite Velium Reinforced Bow is better

Either way having fun!

Post from a war who went max dex build. Magelo link included

Very informative. Thank you sir.

Outside prioritizing some dex later (55+) for tanking I would probably aim for melee damage with dual-wield and save for a solid 2h like a Reaver. Once you hit 30, the cost efficiency of a 2h will blow all other gear out of the water outside a fungi (roughly 6x the cost of a Reaver on blue).

IMHO Dex oriented builds made a bit more sense when Velious wasn’t out. Not as many items providing buckets of stats (I.e. you will get Dex regardless) and stuff like Ykesha procs were sorely needed if you didn’t have epics.

Filling slots with cheap AC and HP items is never a bad thing. As well as making your character look cooler.

Warriors usually want dex gear for procs to maintain aggro but if you're going to duo with a shaman just have her root stuff and you're golden.

Get the best haste/dps weaps you can get for your budget and some basic tank gear you're set. Outside of aggro, procs are mostly insignificant sources of damage as you level up. It isn't like you have to compete against rogues with double backstab and ragebringer anyway so your venom axe will do for now and when damage caps are lifted get a solid 2h as your venom axe will be less useful at that point.

I will later. She's new to Everquest. I've played since I was a teenager on live.

Plus it's my RL friend's tunic, Riendo from Good Guys. He's letting me borrow it for a while.

[jhandor]

Reaver seems like a good idea. I have the seahorse haste belt. I'll look for one soon.

Thanks all

Kyleishia and Landolphn will be running around soon. Feel free to say hello
