Starting stats for Iksar Warrior
 

I'm going to roll an Iksar Warrior once Kunark launches and I'm wondering where I should spend the bonus starting stats.

I don't intend to raid with this character, if that makes a difference.

My initial feeling is to go all 25 points in either Stam or Dex, but I'm not sure which and would like some other opinions.

Thanks.

if i wasn't raiding i'd go dex on warr for more procs for threat management in parties

but that's just me

Dex or Cha is the min-max for warriors.
If you plan to get BiS all over, go Cha
If you plan to get a couple raid pieces, go Dex (based on OP you fit here)

Don't go all STA on a warrior, the gear you'll get in kunark and especially velious will have STA
Warrior is a very gear dependent class.

Yea that's what I was thinking too.

Yea that's a big part of why I like the class, I have a 50 Human Warrior on Green and leveling was heaps of fun - so I'm gonna do it again on Kunark with an Iksar.

It sounds like Dex is the way to go, I'm glad I decided to ask.

Thanks to you both.

I too am interested in an iksar warrior, but I have one major hang up that I have been thinking about. Is this, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fFsvESLXqCE, really how they swing a sword???

There's a simple fix to the bugged animations:

Nice! Thank you!

Iksar 2hs animation still sucks after the fix. Best bet is to stick with 1hnders

Yeah, that way I guess I could better utilize the dex which people have suggested to take at the start, and I can still look cool.
Is it worth trying to gear for dex as a lowbie warrior?

If you don’t plan on raiding STA won’t be easy to cap. Even if you are almost stam capped walking around pre-sham buff that’s literally more hitpoints. I’ve frequently hit the zone line with less than 100hps and rarely have a raid team with me to make sure I’m capped. It’s more zerk range when solo. My gnome warrior went full STA and with droppable kunark (ac/hp geared) stuff he was in the mid 100’s.

Dex is nice to pick up when possible. It’s super easy to cap with buffs (can stack w/focus if casting before). If left to a better dice roll of a proc or more hps I’ll go with a the red bar every time.

I started off p99 casually. Still pretty casual. Kicking myself a bit for not optimizing stats for end game but in the end 120hps either way won’t make or break a group or raid tank. If you raid enough and get the best free gear stam or dex won’t be an issue anyways.
