New Troll Warrior

[Allishia]

Ya I would do sta then rest into cha...it's so easy to max str on war. Especially now, gear is dirt cheap.

+25 str clicky buff if you solo.

I have a troll warrior.. I spent enough to get max STR with a fullset crustecean armor and the +25 from cobalt boots. the rest in STA

I’ve level almost all the warrior race’s to 40-50’s except barbarian , half elf, troll , ide go all dex if planning solo, ogre, halflin has been the most fun out of the bunch! Good luck on stat choices!

For solo only I think nothing can compete with gnome though..
Mine has 76% self haste for a cost of 5 pp per 20 minutes.

Either Dex or Sta imho. Charisma is extremely niche. Pre-Avatar, I find Dex annoying to cap and all the good gear incidentally has 10-15 Stamina on it, so I went 20 Dex 5 Sta. No Regrets.

Coming from a troll war with full tov/vp/st gears, I agree to the above.

I put all into dex and I don't regret. But if you don't think you are getting full raid gears, then 20 dex 5 sta, 15 dex 10 sta are both good options. Even WITHOUT full raid gears (such as before when i was wearing full SS armor along with best non-raid items like cloak of flame/matchless shoulder/turtle belt/eyepatch plunder/living thunder ear) I still couldn't cap sta.

Ignore the put all into cha comment - that only applies to full bis which will take you years to acquire.

You can cap STR/STA/DEX well before BiS raid gear with buffs. It will just depend on how much you like to group. A level 60 Shaman can buff your STR and DEX by 120 each, and STA by 50.

I experiment with a lot of different builds. I recently did a dwarf war solo build and went all dex. I solod until lvl 57 and finally gave up and grouped until 60.

While the procs are nice, it’s hard to rely on dex. I think strength is the only melee stat that matters when leveling. It’s the most noticeable getting increased attack and better hits. Stamina is nice if your goal is to be a raid tank. While charisma is technically the min max, 99.9% of people never get to that point. If charisma really mattered that much, we’d be seeing a lot more wood elf/human/half elf wars

The reason to dump into Charisma is simply because the starting stats aren't going to make a huge difference, especially on a Troll. They have higher Strength and Stamina than the small races. It's their Charisma that is low.

The reason why you don't see as many wood elf/human/half elf warriors is because they don't get a great racial like Regeneration or FSI. Those are going to help you more when soloing than 25 points anywhere. They also have slam, which can be helpful against casters without needing to swap to a shield.

For OP Dexterity and Stamina are better, but again it won't really do much. Being a Troll with Regeneration is giving him way more bang for his buck.

Warriors are designed for raiding on P99, and you never know if you will change your mind about it later.

I'd agree with this. When I did my dwarf warrior solo-self found run to 43 or whatever I got him to, my biggest regret was not putting all points into strength.

For a fairly new player without access to a huge amount of gear, or someone like me who deliberately was starting with no money / no grouping / only using gear I killed/quested for/crafted myself, the strength objectively would've been the best choice.

In retrospect I also would've been a troll for it since it would've cut my kill time and heal times down considerably.
