Making a Warrior

Dorf is pretty cool, keep a stack of ale in your inventory and pass it out to celebrate a good night of grouping. Also looks cool in classic plate/your BIS headgear. Halfling has a bucket on his head, but I guess with my name I have to embrace looking a bit silly out there. I do have a skull shaped barbute so that's easy.

Where did you put your starting stats? We're both blessed with 90 dex to start off with so I assume stam is a pretty safe play.

Yeah Stam for sure.

Meh. I went dex on my dwarf.

Zero regrets at any point in time.

[PatChapp]

Yeah doesn't make much difference either way. If you start raiding with your warrior you'll have both capped pretty easy by the time you have passable gear

1h's are necessary 1-29 (damage cap) and then again for raiding at 60. Otherwise you should just be reavering or spading.

If you're in a raid guild, look to grab a KT or Dain 2her as a better version.

On my halfling war, I really enjoyed sol a—being small is nice and you can sneak buy/sell to goblin merchant. CC has similar vibes, but being able to buy/sell anywhere is really pretty luxurious.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've done solb but barely stepped foot in sola.

For 1-handers I've got a venomous axe and jade mace lying around for >30 exping.

The best name for a Warrior that I have is Facesmasher. So I think it fits a small race ironically, or one of the big boys. But I also like that I can do a little something with Halfing sneak-pulling and limited wall hacks. I can also hide, camp out and clear a PH on my enchanter.

I also like Barbarian, something real classic and nostalgic about that combination. I could afford a cobalt bracer so that's not a limitation. Leaning towards HFL but I'm still undecided.



Yeah I'm gonna pick those up and the cheap stun proc hammer. The goal is to group where I can not so much level efficiently, probably join one of those guilds like Friendly Druids. Just something to mess around on but I have some plat so I might as well get him properly geared.

The name Facesmasher screams troll to me. Trolls can slam which is nice to have and it has a higher skill cap than kick(which doesn’t stun until 55), they look good in plate(arguably best custom helm), don’t have to endless faction/buy OT hammer, but most importantly have regen which you will notice if soloing 99% of the time. I did the dwarf dex warrior build, even got him an eyepatch, and while it was fun looking back I would have rather just went troll and retained all the clickies while having regen.

Gnome is also a really strong option with the dorf armor and haste arms.

dont discount 1h at 30, especially at 50+

granted, i delevelled my warrior and had over 200 dual wield and 1h skills, but i was doing more DPS with Frostbringer + Edge of the Nightwalker than i was with Herbalist spade at level 49.

wouldnt recommend jade mace + venomous axe past 30, however (granted still more DPS than toons who arent twinked). if you get a swiftblade of zek or soemthing and a big damage offhand, (wuoshi scimitar, edge of nightwalker, even winters fury) youll rip through stuff as well

Roll gnome. The clockwork armor clicky are so strong. Clicky dex buff, clicky haste and so on

Both good options. Do you think dex is the play on Warriors, assuming moderate raid-gear at the maximum? I know it's hard to cap but Halfling only start with 85 stam and Gnome 80.

Depends on your goals. Even at 255 dex you can’t rely on that spade proc to save you from a bad pull.

If I was doing a casual halfling build I’d prob go str. If I planned to raid I’d go sta.

If your talking about capping dex for raids,it's very easy.
With focus, vog and dex buff from a shaman you only need 125 or so to be capped at 255.
Stamina you only have righteous health,so you need 205.
