I have both. Fun to level solo?

Monk … and it’s not even close.

Fun to play in general? That one for me is a harder question. From the low-mid 50s and especially at 60 I honestly think I enjoy playing my warrior more. I find the enjoyment for each one to be very different.

I just did a mass autoriposte test in an attempt to chain riposte a horde of blam stick hobbits, which was also kind of nice for gathering crit damage parsing.

/GU Autoriposte in 9s, 89186 @9910 | Joerlin 89186

21 Crits/681 hits, for 3% Crit rate.

Average hit: 130
Average crit: 183

Used Narandi's Lance.

This is kind of interesting, since https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...tack.cpp#L4362 would indicate a 70% damage increase from criticaling, and it doesn't seem like it parsed that high. Crippling would be 1.19 x critical damage. I wonder if its not multiplying the damage bonus?

If I get a chance to try this again I'll see if I can get the warriors to go berserk and see what the crippling blows look like.

even if you had full BiS at level 46, monk is gonna do better getting to 60 solo and be a lot more "fun"

Valid point - but on blue especially , it feels like monks are a dime a dozen

I mean there is a reason for that.

You said solo, the only answer is monk.

Warriors are fun for itemization. Especially 50+ they have bags full of tricks.

Solo as a warrior 50+ is tedious, I'd suggest grinding out in groups. That is where warriors shine anyway. Even duos and trios offer a lot of flexibility (get a slow weapon and duo a LOT of content with a cleric).

In a group you are either tank, and playing the fight for aggro, hoping for procs etc. Or you are the DPS that can CC by off-tanking. Not a ton of dps like monk or rogue, but with a good 2 hander, or weapon set you can make some noise.

Couple cool very attainable clickies & procs 50+ wars get.

Slow: Truncheon of Doom
Invisibility: Incarnadine Breastplate(gather shadows), cobalt greaves (invisibility)
strength buff: cobalt boots
shielding buff: cobalt arms
snare weapons: silken whip of ensnaring


Probably missing a few, but having invis on a war 50+ is sweet. is it as useful as monk's sneak and feign death? probably not.

I like the thrill of tanking and managing aggro. So i'm very biased towards warriors.

[skulldudes]

do u like swords most? warrior

do u like sticks? monk

monk >>> for being able to FD afk alone tho

[Solist]

Solo everquest...


Like why?

[cd288]

Yeah FD alone is the reason to go Monk over Warrior. If you're soloing and going to 60, the reality is there are limited camps in the latter half of the 50s that you can solo as a melee. As a result, it's not uncommon to find people checking to see if these camps are open frequently. Generally some of them you can AFK safely in, but not all. And if you have to camp out on the Warrior to AFK for a few minutes there's a decent chance someone will steal the camp when they show up and see no one there. If you can AFK FD they won't be able to argue that you weren't at the camp first.

Dex helps war crit do much it's worth stacking too.
