are warriors really worth playing?

Disregards my point. Yes against a purely melee mob like that or against Vindi or something AC is great. But as I said HP is a more well rounded stat. AC doesn't do a thing towards keeping you alive against AoEs, nukes, etc. HP does. Of course you also want to strike a balance between HP, AC, and resists but to dismiss HP for AC is wrong.

And likewise to dismiss AC for pure HP is also wrong.

And a quote from one of our Dev's on the upcoming velious fun:

General rule of tanking in this era.

AC > all. That should simplify things.

I'm not the one who started down that strawman route [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But it's largely a moot point anyway as there isn't that much comparable velious gear that x piece in y slot has a ton of AC and no HP whereas z piece that also fits y slot has no AC but a ton of HP.
