thinking about rolling a warrior

[kobexbloo]

After making 7 warriors, and leveling them to 20 (some far past 20), I can say definitively that putting all your points into DEX as an OGRE is the best warrior out there.

Things I tried:

Barb +25 into STR
---(lots of dps, more than double everybody in group)
Woodelf +25 into STR
---(always encumbered, not high dps)
Woodelf +25 into STA
---(always encumbered, not high dps, not high HP*)
Dwarf +25 into STR
---(lots of dps, no slam)
Dwarf +25 into DEX
---(lots of crips**, no slam, always encumbered)
Ogre +15 into DEX +10 into AGI
---(more dps than my original barb war with all points into STR)
Ogre十 +25 into DEX
---(lots of crips, lots of dps, lots of procs, lots of hp)

The problem is going to be being encumbered, especially if you are a weapon proc whore like I am. Save up enough money for a Tinkerer Bag, if you are gonna roll anything other than an Ogre. To be fair, I was moderately well equipped (FBSS, Wurmslayer, Lamentation, etc...)

*I found out at level 60, you only gain 6 HP per stamina, which is bullcrap, given that 25 points into STA is only 150 hp at level 60!.
**From personal experience, DEX seems to modify crippling blows, but not critical hits, I am not sure why, I have even looked through the code.
十The biggest drawback from being an ogre is being so hideous, I can't stand to really look at my toon, they are also huge and don't fit nicely into dungeons unless you have a shaman or some shrink potions.
