Damnit.

If you're question is re-rolling warrior, what race? The only answer is Ogre if you're serious about being a warrior tank. Second choice is iksar. Regen is pretty mute for a warrior because you should be grouping with a priest class, mainly cleric.

If your dream isnt to be a raid tank, any race is fine. Get that level up, go to velious and start getting some proper tank gear. You'll be fine. Be sure to get some dex and weapons that proc, this is one of the best ways to keep agro as a warrior. From what I've read.

Holding aggro varies with each group.

If the mobs are dying quick, you rely on white damage (an exceptional ratio weapon) or rooting mobs. A low level root would suffice if they are dying quickly.

If they aren't quickly dying, procs are the ticket. Skorpikis Claw Impaler is like 100pp. It's ratio isn't great, but the threat is real when it procs. All weapons proc at the same rate so if you can find a better ratio with a similar proc in your price range, grab it.

Welp, looks like I may keep the Elf Warrior afterall. But since I am 30 I honestly cannot remember how I kept agro.

Are there any moderately priced Velious weapons I should be looking out for? If I remember right, Yaks dont proc until 37, yak clubs until 40 and such

Good call ^^ Dwarf isn't all that much more durable in the end, at least not enough to accept being stumpy and ugly. At 39, you probably didn't keep aggro. That's what root is for. Pick up a staff of battle and str gear until silken whip starts to proc and train casters to root.

You mean Masculine and Handsome. It's okay tho we all make mistakes.

Kept the elf warrior, got myself a full crusty set, having a good time.

But the idea of being able to barrel roll will always be on the back of my head. Thanks for the help everyone.

It's true, regen can't talk or make noises for a warrior.

i miss my paladin from live

I... I had it so good then. It took me this long to figure that out.

A little stun.

A little flash.

Agro all mine

Or.. is there a level or a weapon proc that makes being a warrior all better?

Am I close?

Or is there ally no hope?

It gets better when you're level 60 acting as main tank on raid bosses and using charged aggro click items like Midnight Mallets to stick those bosses to you, while the knights are bored twiddling their thumbs in the background fluff groups.

It'll get a little bit better in normal groups once you have decent aggro-proc weapons like Sarnak Warhammer, Infestation, etc. It won't get a lot better; you'll never match the Paladin or Shadow Knight's ability to frontload threat. You'll always depend on cooperation from your groupmates to keep targets focused on you, and they'll always need to hold back a little. That's the weakness of the Warrior class, and the price you pay for being able to act as tank against the biggest, toughest, hardest-hitting monsters in Norrath.

The hope is that a caster will root the mobs for you (stand on its toes, rooted mobs attack whoever is closest... was playing my ranger the other night and the war went AFK so I just pulled the mob on top of the war and rooted it so he could still tank while he was afk). Also monks and rogues have effective ways of ditching aggro. If the shaman is slowing early, you can taunt off that to give you a lead against any other melee.

If my group could get an AFK war to tank, there shouldn't be any problem having a warrior who is actually tanking to take the majority of the hits.

The most important agro management tools of the warrior are the player's social skills. Make friends with people who aren't idiots. Group with them whenever possible.

In a good group, any tank works well but a warrior (usually) lets you push harder.

In a poor group, a knight tank can often keep things rolling despite the incompetence of the others while a warrior is just marking time until the horrible CR.

Most groups will fall in between. If your group is leaning to the bad and the other players are too busy passing the blame around (or mucking about on facebook, or whatever) to try to make it work better, leave it and make a better one.
