It won't matter at 60 when you are raid buffed.

partially correct

as a war u dont have the aggro utility spells like disease cloud (sk) or stun/blind spells (pal) so the stun immunity is, to some degree, important to hold aggro without the loss of dps while your attacks a paused when stuned.

yea, there is also the taunt button and what not but every added hate generator helps

and thats also the reason why ppl usualy dont go gnome/elf/human.. war besides the (much lower) STR and STA stats.

If anything the "best" warrior would be a halfling since you will level a lot faster than any ogre or troll.

Never said I was a "vet" bro brah. However, I haven't played this game in for god damn ever; that's why I'm getting hung up on starting stats. I'm playing ogre, because that IS what I like. I am trying to min/max as much as I can so I can have better stats while I level to 60. And chances are, I won't be raiding much at 60.

Thanks anyways.

Thanks to everyone so far who has offered advice.

if they actually make it so endurance is used in combat AGI will actually do something since it is endurance and ac

i can see it happening to with all the "classic" changes lately so be rdy

but yea if your going barb troll or ogre id stick with dex since you def need dex for procs and your str and sta will already be high anyway

and yes i know end wasnt even in classic but i guess pretty much considered your stam overall

[Snaggles]

As mentioned in the end it won't really matter. You can be a guild's main tank as a gnome warrior...easy. A dwarf's stats are amazing for no exp hit.

Go with the look. It's unlikely the rest will matter. It's not like being a woodelf warrior will earn you Ranger hate [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

yea but takes long time to get 60 and not everyone is planing to rush there

and with no gear it def helps out at the start esp if your soloing but yea in the long run it doesnt matter.

You could also level a Mage up just to the point of affording bronze and some decent cheap weapons. Leveling a naked warrior with a starter sword has got to be an record breaker in pain and suffering.

It's been done. Many of us were there,

dex gives more crits son

If you think being able to interrupt casting is stupid, you're stupid.

Large races win.

what do you mean swap a shield out you do know slam works with no shield and just weapons ... lol your confusing me

[Juugox2]

and try taking on 2 healers and no one can interrupt i mean if you got dps it dies quick enough but if not slam def comes in handy

Yes I know how slam works. You know you can hold a shield on your mouse cursor and have your offhand slot on your hotbar? Small races can bash just like a large race can slam with a simple extra mouse click. Slam is not much of an advantage. If you are spamming it for dps kick is just as effective anyway. For interrupts a small race just swaps out offhand for it.
