Default I know it's not classic, but...

Why do we have to babysit warriors through the levelling process? Can't they get Provoke?

Everytime I group with a warrior, I groan with frustration, and then watch as both DPS and slowers proceed to pull of them and make a mess of things.

Try root / team work.

Yeah root really solves all agro problems for group play, it's basically no mana.

You don't have to. You can fuss with root if you want, but you can also use someone else as tank. The local paladin, shadowknight, heck even ranger or monk or bard might be happy to do the job. Nothing wrong with using a warrior as a low-maintenance damage dealer instead. With the weapons available they usually do fair enough damage in such a role, especially if keeping to low health.

Exactly. In the low levels (1-30 or so) a Warrior is going to do at least as much DPS as a charmed pet with fairly cheap weapons and a haste item.

30-39 Warriors are still doing great damage since mobs are balanced to be weaker from levels 1-39.

40+ Warriors can start generating agro better because they can start procing easy to get agro weapons like https://wiki.project1999.com/Frostbringer at 40 and https://wiki.project1999.com/Sarnak_Warhammer at 46. Also https://wiki.project1999.com/Short_Sword_of_the_Ykesha at 37.

As the others have said, root is always an option, and gets better in the higher levels since mobs are going to take a little longer to die.

At beginning of green root was heavily used, flash of light too actually, shaman or cleric could use it for less mana, at low level mobs didn't last long enough for it to wear off anyway.

Again with this lol?

Without involving charmed mobs in the discussion (lol), yes a twinked warrior will put out perfectly adequate dps in a standard group (both low medium-high levels). It won’t be knock your socks off great mind you, but totally sufficient. At higher levels warriors will only put out decent to good dps with strong gear.

You haven't disproven the data, and I have a level 24 Warrior and 30 Enchanter. I am really not sure why you are questioning the data, you have nothing to counter it.

A Warrior is outputting good DPS from levels 1-30 at least with Wurmslayer + Fist of Zek and Silver Chitin Hand Wraps. Better weapons would obviously do even better.
