Any weapons you guys know about that I can quest for as I level up?

Right now I'm wearing full banded and a 2h sword I've crafted.

You should try blue, I got some extra warrior stuff you can have [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you plan on doing some bow kiting (very wise choice for self-found large race warrior), equip the slowest weapon you can find in your primary weapon slot. Rusty Halberd is an easy-to-find option, but eventually you will want a Weighted Axe.

I don’t think the damage bonus is significant at low levels but could be wrong

I found on my DE warrior that by level 30, using a slow two-handed weapon over a fast one-handed weapon made a noticeable difference when bow kiting (not as much as in later levels, but every bit helps).

By the time a self-found warrior can acquire a Weighted Axe, it is probably worth equipping when bow kiting.

Haven't done much bow kiting.

Essence is basically Sow + Ranged Kite till swing timer on 2h is back up again?

You just shoot the bow, run, shoot the bow, run, etc. until the mob is dead or fleeing.

It is very tedious but you can kill hill giants at lvl 5 with this strategy.

That's more like jousting, which is something you can do to supplement the bow kite if you are near the mob's level.

Using only a bow though, you can kite mobs 20 or more levels above you, so you don't want to get in melee range of those. The time it takes to kite means the xp over time is ass, so it's only really worth doing it to take down a loot dropping named or a quest mob that results in you getting an item upgrade.
