People complaining about warrior agro,...

Can't imagine how a warrior would have helped. The other 4 in your group must have been pretty good.

Someone had to pull and make it back alive.

The other day I was grouped with a warrior named Warrenz in Sol B who was using executioner's axe and couldn't hold agro worth a penny. Someone recommended he buy some 20plat lariats as soon as he could so he could tank better and he rage quit on our group.

A lot of warriors just fail to understand the limitations of their class. Also, if you're a dps player it takes a little bit of adjustment getting used to having a warrior tank for your group because if you're used to SKs/Pals you're used to being able to start damage a lot faster and more freely.

Jilena summed it up pretty well. Even well geared warriors are inferior to pals and sks in exp groups.

Yup, I shelved my tank and rolled a pally for this reason, since for the foreseeable future exp grouping is all I'll be doing. That doesn't mean I won't level the tank up at some point when I can provide him with good gear, but as first toon levelling up a war is way less fun than a knight with not a lot of redeeming features.

30 starting dex, have dex as your primary stat, and follow up with agi/ac/sta/hp gear, and 2 lariats. Gtg. Haste and you're a stunlock aggro whore.

Yeah, I agree with the general sentiment of this thread, as a Bard no less. I haven't experienced it that often, but it has happened that I took way too much aggro when a warrior was the tank, and had to have it explained to me that (untwinked) warriors in those situations need to build a bit of aggro before the bard can just charge in like a moron.
