Warrior - Dex or Stam

[nymphloa]

I remade my Warrior in the end purely so I could pump all the starting points into dex, it made a big difference to my proc rate, and my agro of course.

Hps and AC are easy enough to find on items, no point having that extra 150hps if you can not keep Agro.

Agro >>> AC >>> Hps

That has always been my way of rating a good tank in EQ.

Peace.

I've heard several people say that AC is broken here and to only focus on hp. Is this true, or am I the first person to hear lies on the internet?

I am still confused to whether you want stamina or dex with your starting points? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Both sides have made very compelling cases for each.

It is much easier for rogues where everyone agrees stamina is the way to go!

Warriors do not get anything to aid them with agro besides procs/taunt until much later in the games time line. Procs are governed by your Dex...I had played a end game warrior for 11 years on Live, and imo there is nothing worse than losing agro. This may be why I could not live with playing a warrior again through this era of the game, and I went Shadow knight.

So the choice is..

1 - Throw it all into Stamina and have worse agro issues right up until 46+, then get masses of high end loot to bump your Dex and procs rates.

2 - Throw all your points into Dex, proc more, have less agro issues once you get procing weapons that work for your level. This will by no means solve the Warrior agro issue.

Good luck with your choice.

Peace.

Very old bug, long since fixed. AC is good.

not true, even for large races. dex is easy to cap; stam isn't.

Clearly leads me to believe you have never played a warrior high end...

Ugh such a gloomy post, makes me want to forget thinking about the warrior in the first place and place a shaman, sk or something
