In need of advice on starting/gearing warrior

[meanhappyguy]

Haste items won't stack, so save yourself some money and just go with the FBSS OR the SCHW.

The +hp rings are very helpful. Any weapon with close to or better than 1dam:2delay weapons are great for twinks. I prefer 1-hand before level 20, due to the damage cap. Jade mace 9/18 is a great weapon for wis casters and melee--Smoldering Brand is a great 9/22 all/all for any class.

Warrior/Knight/healer should be a fine trio to level up with. Shaman would work better than cleric, mostly for the haste, slow, and sow. To min/max, you'd probably have the knight tanking and the warrior in serk mode. Warriors do a lot of damage until higher levels (not really sure when their dps starts dropping off... level 40? 50?)

Good luck!
