I love advice like you should spend two months playing a character you don't like so you can farm equipment for the one you do like. So you can understand.

Meanwhile I'm just looking for warrior to buff.

That advice always rubbed me the wrong way as well.

/agree.

Just beating up decayed skeletons for 4 levels with a tarnished halberd gets plenty of pp for a decent enough ratio weapon and a suit of banded, doesn't take much longer to get some hp rings too. That will honestly carry you to 40. Not worth spending 2 months levelling a mage/necro for 2 months and farming marginally better gear imo.

A group of all melee with like a ranger and warriors using their bows to manage hp is pretty fun.

All a rogue needs is epic and a seb croak dirk and he is #1 raid dps.

Don't even get me started on velious geared monks.

Good luck raiding successfully without a massive amount of warriors, rogues, and monks...hell, even rangers can be raid-saving speedbumps. Pallies are now the only ones bringing Soulfires to those AoW / Tunare / Vyemm kills. SK may be the only class to hate on, but they're still strong in single group xp / cash farm content and are perfectly fine trash tanks in hate / fear / tov / pog.

OP is either new, bad, or both.

@Saisu creation stats are capped at 150. An ogre can’t start at 157. They’ll be only 75 points ahead of the theoretical +0 sta elf, which is a still beefy 450 hp, but 42hp leas than your figures and even more less than the ‘thousands’ suggested by NPC.

Hah, good catch Jimjam! Ogres get fantastic starting stats, but NPC was implying they have an insurmountably drastic advantage that the numbers just don't back up.

Indubitably.
