Warrior race

[Jimjam]

I wasn't raiding in Velious, but I always heard stories that AC was useless against AoW because his attack was so high that no matter what your AC was it was going to be low enough compared to his atk that he was always gonna roll a 20 to hit.

In the benefit of hindsight, was it really that he had such a high ATK or did he actually just have a very high damage bonus, so even his min hit was big?

to reiterate, /disc defensive is absolute king in Velious. The Alpha and Omega. Gear, honestly, for raiding... barely matters. You'd rather have another subpar geared warrior to swap in with /disc def for another 3 minutes than a single super geared iksar warrior or monk.

Fucking Dain. Worst part was sitting around on your ass waiting for the pull team to get him down the hole.

The best part was giving him a pair of Velium weapons before a rival guild started their attempts.

This actually brings up a good point about Warrior race. The corner that my guild tanked Dain in was too small for anything but a Small race. If a fatty tank died and couldn't get a shrink before their turn was up again, they were basically useless. Something to think about when choosing a race, for sure.

I rolled a barb war because they look cool and still have good stats, plus I can bank in FP and train in Kelethin.

Hi there.
How does Ogre compare to Iksar in Velious for Warrior? will Iksar overtake Ogre as the best race? Thanks.

Iksar are the master race.

I have an ever expanding friends list of deleted Kelor characters from him deleting and rerolling every time you guys post a contrary opinion. I'd like to see how many times he will end up rerolling... and with that in mind:

Iksar is clearly the better choice for warrior since both ogre and Iksar can max stamina with velious gear. Warriors are tanks first and foremost, and the iksar AC bonus and HP regen adds up to a noticeable advantage over time. Your avoidances still work while stunned, so Iksar consistently carries the advantage in taking damage even if they do a little less.

The best warrior race is of course Ogre. The frontal stun immunity helps to make sure you're always facing the mob and can adjust your positioning if needed (don't you hate spinning while stunned if you were moving when it hit?), plus it means more DPS and thus more agro. Ogre starts with 60str and 52 stamina more than the Iksar - Even in velious this is a major advantage. It will take a very long time to have BiS gear on the Iksar that equalizes this advantage.

Everyone knows that Dark Elf is the best warrior race. Stats aren't a big deal because Velious gear is loaded with stats. What matters is the small size, sneak and hide! You can afk in dangerous spots and split like a monk while looking cooler than all the other race warriors.

I wonder if he'll still reroll three times if all the opinions are in the same post...

For what its worth only Halfling (and cats on the moon!) can sneak.

Stupid elves only know how to hide (all they're good for [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).

All the cool kids play iksar warriors.
