I used to play a Wood Elf warrior on live - got up to 55 and played through Kunark, quit after that. I focused on gathering all of the extra equipment to boost AGI I could find, my theory was that with higher AC I wouldn't need the extra HPs. The DEX proc is a good example, I used a Bloodpoint in my offhand just to produce more aggro and it proc'd all the time. I really didn't have trouble holding aggro or staying alive. When helping folks with quest armor, I'd often be the solo tank against Kunark giants in a small group of 5-6, most clerics didn't have trouble keeping me alive.
But most of all I just liked the look of plate on Wood Elves. When it came down to it, I just didn't like the look of the Ogre. The decision didn't keep me from getting into groups or raids. Coincidentally I started a DE warrior here on P99, once again, they got the cool armor. What can I say? I gotta put up with being evil and not even get the STA bonus. Oh well [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Slam may not be a useful skill all the time, but when you are fighting a caster mob and you can just bash them to kill their casting it's really nice. If you don't like the look of ogres/trolls you can always make a barbarian. They also get slam and their stats are okay.
And I agree that dex is a very important stat for warriors to have. What good is being able to tank if you can't keep the mob on you? | ||

my warrior on live was wood elf. i was main tank for raiding guild in planes of power. got the second blade of war on server :P never once considered being wood elf a disadvantage.
i really wouldnt look into race advantages/disadvantages too much aye. maybe not so much in classic but from kunark onwards, its moreso how you gear your char. in terms of just grouping. whats going to make a good tank is that you dont lose agro and dont let ya group die cause of random mobs running round smashing shit. this is done with not being a retard and weps with sexy procs that generate good agro. oh i miss my good old SoD. in terms of raiding whats going to make a good tank is the above, and also not dying, which is based on your gear, not your race lol. and for old times sake...

Just remember that everyone you meet is going to wonder if you chose that combo just for the xp bonus. True or not, doesn't matter- they will all wonder it.
On the other hand, if I were to make a cleric (I thought of it, but changed my mind- one of my mains in live was a cleric, and I liked it), I would definitely choose halfling. Not so much for the bonus (though that is nice), but for the sneak and hide. Getting regular invis has always been tough for clerics, so the hide is awesome, and the sneak allows you to use merchants almost anywhere, as well as complete some quests without having the faction. DE is a good choice too- also have hide, and get a nifty necklace that allows them to snare (a crappy snare, though), which can come in handy if you solo. Soloing as a cleric is always possible- I've done it many times- but it's neither fast nor interesting. Grouping is always better, and groups are generally easy to get. But, DEs get no sneak.
