What tank?

[Samoht]

Warriors can still Bash by dropping in a shield. You even quoted that. And if your tanking, you're not there to DPS, so once again, your argument is moot.

[Ennewi]

It's much easier for other players to make up for what Warriors lack in aggro generation at the early-mid levels of the game than it is for other players to make up for what Paladins and SKs lack in HP/AC/Discs late game, depending on the mobs. If there's already a designated tank (in group or on raid), Warriors can stay at low hp for DPS, Paladins can contribute some heals, and SKs can help pull; the usefulness of those alternative roles goes in that order imo. The snap aggro of hybrids can be really useful on certain raids, but generally not anything that requires a cheal rotation. Paladins edge out SKs in groups because their spells synergize with enchanters and they can heal the DPS, saving the cleric mana. But even Rangers can tank, if geared correctly, especially with Velious armor to choose from now. If you still can't decide, you have 8 character slots, test them out and see what fits.

You really have no idea how to play a Warrior, do you? I'm not going to hold it against you. You just need to admit it and be accepting to learn new things. You don't have to wear the shield. You equip it off-hand, hit Bash, and then switch your weapon back in. It happens in the blink of an eye. Slam is an unnecessary crutch for those who don't actually know how to play. Just like insisting that Ogre is the best race. But this thread isn't about race to begin with, so we don't need that nonsense.

Sounds like a lot of extra work just to be an elf warrior.

This isn't a thread about race. Quit changing the subject.

Watched a couple of your videos. You need to work the camera angles.
Not sure how you can see whats going on around you when your character is staring at the floor or into a dragon belly.

Good question. I see what is going on around me by the GINA bars counting down CH timers and below the melee window to the left of my HP. If my combat window says I cannot see my target I know much faster if I need to reposition. Also, if there is a gap in the heal chain and it looks like another round is inc I can self heal with wort potions or soulfire. This is how the good tanks stay alive. Turning off attack at these critical moments can also save a repost.
