maximizing warrior gear...

[Hurrcus]

A few items that should make your life easier as a warrior include-

•Movement Speed Clickie (Journeyman's Boots)
•Levitate Clickie (Pegasus Feather Cloak)
•Invisibility Clckie(s) (Multiple options)

I'll add Bracer of the Hidden to the list because if you know how to use it you can spam it on an incoming mob to get secondary aggro as a raid tank. Also it's an instant cast of See Invisible for self and others (useful not only for the effect; is a free junk buff for dispelling mobs).

Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring is great for the same reasons as Bracer of the Hidden.

Somebody else pointed out that you'll need bags. Warriors hold a lot of stuff and Dark Elves don't have that high strength especially; 6 or more Bag of the Tinkerer(s) is a great investment. Because the price of Tink bags is almost completely inelastic once you start earning/winning some NODROP 100% WR bags you can replace your Tink(s) and make your money back.
