What would you recommend to a brand new Warrior?

What about budget iksar armor choices? Are you just SoL if you're in your 40-50s without 50k banked?

For armor, I'd basically just look for HP.

Platinum Fire Wedding Ring x2
Giant Scalemail Tunic
Giant Scalemail Leggings
Tar goo strands x2
Kylong War Helm
Orc Fang Earring x2
Iksar Hide Boots (yea)

This stuff isn't great, but it's cheap and good enough on a tiny budget. If you have the means for the gems, do plate house to get the Thurgadin BP+helmet. Do arena groups for Silver Steel Gauntlets, get CoV factioned and start rolling Scout for Bracer of Benevolence (2 if you're a lucky person).

I leveled my warrior in full trooper scale plus a Wurmslayer+Lamentation. At 46 or so I got Trochilic's Skean + Sarnak Warhammer for proc weapons. I quested the Wurmslayer/Trooper scale on my necro (low 50s at the time) mainly cuz I like questing. I was wearing garbage till 60 - got a few Legionnaire Scale pieces from hate that lasted till I was wearing HoT gear.

If I did it again I'd probably just level with a staff of battle while keeping up weapon skills with other cheap weapons. Again wouldn't worry about procs till the 40s.
