Regen and haste are the two most powerful benefits when leveling a melee. You should get the best of each you can afford. | |||

If he wants to solo then perhaps, but if his other slots are empty and he is using subpar gears just to wear a regen bp (not even a fungi mind you), I personally feel it's not a worthwhile investment. Typically by lvl 20 I was grouping, and I found having hps and ac quite beneficial in a group but that's my opinion and what I feel I experienced. Soloing as warrior past 20 gets rougher too, I really don't see how that iksar regen bp will take him very far when he has tar goo wrists and empty slots. But, hey whatever. I was just giving my perspective. If it's awful advice guess I been doing it wrong on my warriors. | |||

And it's not like he's forced to choose between option 1 of having regen BP and being naked otherwise while wielding a Rusty Long Sword, and option 2 of having a nice set of gear and weapons but no regen. He has enough money to afford both. He can use the BP until he no longer sees the benefit then sell it and get something else. It's not a waste of money, it's temporarily turning 10k into regen to speed up your leveling, then selling it and getting your 10k back. And there's no need to be defensive, I wasn't personally attacking you. I just disagreed with the advice. As most people would. If you can afford any type of regen while twinking a melee (especially a tank) then you buy it. You're the only person I've ever seen who disagrees with that statement, and the reason is because regen (even 5 hp/tick) is insanely powerful at lower levels and greatly helps in leveling. | |||

Bandaging whilst still swinging melee attacks will carry you a long way.
Tab target to self, hit bandage key, hit /stand hotkey, tab target back to opponent, turn auto attack back on. Repeat every 12 seconds until hp over 50%, bandages run out or RSI sets in. | ||

I'm currently at 0 plat. I like the idea of regen but a set of crusty is also an option. How much does a set go for? And does it sell often? I really don't want to tunnel quest anymore than I have to.

5 extra regen per tick will help lighten the load for your healer. You're improving group quality of life by wearing the ceremonial iksar chestplate. If you plan on being the main tank in pickup leveling groups. You didn't go wrong with buying it. Also it will help your downtime.

My point was not that regen is bad, my point was that when he has limited funds it might be more prudent to spend his plats on the totality of his slots not just the chest slot with a ceremonial iksar bp which truly isn't that great. Is the iksar bp Helpful? Sure it doesn't hurt. Awesome and makes it so healers never have to heal you when you tank? No. Like Jimjam mentioned above bind wound can be used even in combat, and I just found it hard to work on BW when I had a fungi on, and instead enjoyed using a regular BP while leveling my warrs. In groups, you don't need regen bp as a warrior, especially if you are rocking 5ac wrists and empty slots in other areas. [You must be logged in to view images.

I don't suspect he is going to be 1-20 for very long so I just have a hard time justifying buying a iksar bp unless you got more than 20k total. I just don't view 5 hp regen as "insanely powerful", guess we have different ideas on what is "insanely powerful." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | |||

spend 17-18k on a cobalt breastplate, then buy really cheap gear for the other slots... the reason why you would want a cobalt breastplate is because they're on sale once every 3 months and you will feel like a pimp wearing one
weapons: kunzar kujuch/ykeshan war club/viik's dark defender/jarsath trident/fist of zek/spined dragon claws/blackjack/silken whip of ensnaring/acid etched war sword back: werewolf skin cloak/white wolf hide cloak fingers: 2x jagged bands ears: platinum bloodstone earring/orc fang earring/diamondine earring neck: chipped velium amulet/runed lava pendant face: sarnak hide mask/grotesque mask/dented brass mask head: crested helm/crafted helm shoulders: crested spaulders/bloodstained mantle/crafted pauldron legs: crafted greaves/silver plated leggings wrists: hero bracer/crafted bracer feet: dwarven work boots/cobalt boots/crafted boots hands: kobold bone gauntlets/cobalt gauntlets/dark mail gauntlets/crafted gauntlets/iksar scaled gloves ranged: runed bone fork/runed oak bow arms: azure sleeves/crafted vambraces waist: thin banded belt/straw spun belt and when you get a few more thousand platinum later, get SCHW or a FBSS | ||
