Yeah. Play a warrior if you want to become the star of the show somewhere down the line in the distant future. When you end up being a raid's main tank, you'll know that the long and arduous journey was worthwhile. If you have no intentions of raiding, it's hard to recommend the warrior class.

I'd rather have a Warrior in my group than an SK, more often than not. An SK doesn't do more damage or take less damage than a Warrior and they have a massive exp penalty. Aggro should really not be a problem if your group knows what they are doing.

What is the price of obsidian shards these days? As an experiment in futility and frustration, I am making an iksar warrior and then I'm going to attempt to make it non-kos in Norrathian cities (except for Rivervale; all pecks should be served up in a nice stew)

Shards are dirt cheap, under 200.
As for OP, Id def. reroll SK or Pally. I tried Warrior and it was pretty fun in terms of just DPSing and being a little boss dorf critting for 100+ at lvl 20. But when it came to tanking in a group, it was COMPLETELY random. I tried going with really fast weps, thinking that aggro hitting a mob 2-3x more then what the DPS was hitting them at, would give me more aggro, but it didn't. It seemed like it based on pure dmg done to the mob, and obviously im not going to out DPS Monks w/ RFS's etc. So really I would only get aggro if I could out DPS the actual DPS class's in my group, if I couldnt out DPS them then the mob just ran all over the place bouncing between people. So I traded those weps in, got some Shards and dex gear, 150+ dex. Thinking "Ok well, this is the way youre supposed to tank so this should be fine then" ... Nope. Every fight the Monk/Bard would pull the mob(s), and Id start whacking on them/spamming taunt, and PRAYING for a proc to go off from one of my weps. Sometimes it wouldn't proc at all during the 10-20sec fight, other times it would proc when the mob was already at like 25% life left so didnt make much of a different. It was pretty rare actually (Like 1 in every 10 mobs) that I would actually get a proc on a mob within the first few seconds of the fight and grab aggro and keep it. It was sooo completely random, and nothing you can depend on. I would take an SK or Pally over a Warrior in an xp grind group ANY day, simply because after playing one I know how random it is to get/hold aggro on a Warrior. Granted I only played to mid 20's, maybe that would change @ level 37+ with yak weps, Ive heard they have a higher chance to proc but honestly I didnt want to wait it out to lvl 37 only to be disappointed again. If you are looking to just be a straight up tank for leveling groups, you def. want a SK / Pally / (Ranger up to lvl 50), for there snap aggro spells. If you plan on raiding @ 60 and think youll end up being 1 of the raid tanks, then go Warrior, otherwise reroll now before you waste anymore time in the class. Unless of course youre having fun with Warrior, then by all means stick it out =) | ||

from my experiences with playing my cleric on live it always came down to this for me: Warriors for raid targets and SK/Pal for anything else. Sk/Pal were much better at getting the inital aggro and maintaining it throughout then a warrior, warrior was so dependant on a good weapon it was ridiculous. Come velious though if you do play a warrior, hope you can get a blade of carnage for and thatll solve all your problems [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
