Avoid the Warrior class at all costs unless you're some sort of masochist.

Everquest's Warrior class is one of the least friendly and most boring ever. Anything the Warrior can tank, the Shadow Knight or the Paladin can tank much better. Their DPS is subpar unless they're twinked up the ass.

In Classic they're a completely crippled class that's almost worthless. You'll spend 100% of your time living in groups and even then you're be a paraplegic burden who's mediocre at everything and has 0 things to do other than auto attacking.

When Velious drops they get some abilities post-60 that will make them better raid tanks than Paladins or Shadow Knights but all the way 1-59 you will suffer. You should only ever be consider one if you're sure you're gonna neckbeard for years taking it to level 60, over-gearing it and only doing raids.

Shadow Knight is fun but the XP penalty is crippling and the playstyle too similar to Necromancer.

Shaman is really fun. You get to heal, you get the best melee buffs in the game, free SoW from level 9 and a dog pet at level 34. DoTs are similar to Necro but that's about it.

When Kunark/Velious hits and you're max level... as a SK/paladin your role is basically one of a trash tank on raiding, warriors end up with the glory of tanking gods ^^
