Dark elf war on green?
 

Would I have a chance at tanking things or do the ogres dominate it all? :p

Play what you want!
Ogres definitely min-max, but I see DE SKs tanking just fine - WAR should be no different.

Race doesn't generally hamper you from being able to handle your normal group content. Had a halfling warrior tanking for me in Najena a couple weeks after green launched, so in banded/leather, and was doing swimmingly. DE would be no different I'd imagine.

Classic old world stuff you can certainly tank it. Once the expansions come out it might get a bit harder since mobs hit harder and survive longer due to higher HP pools which means each encounter you take more damage overall, but in a group with buffs and if you have some gear you should be okay.

The bigger issues IMO for a DE warrior is their STR. Until you are able to boost your STR with gear, your weapon and a full set of plate will likely put you pretty closed to encumbered which will hamper your ability to loot stuff to vendor which in turn will lessen your ability to get cash (which is already very limited as a Warrior in general. Warriors also rely heavily on DPS to keep aggro, so lower STR will hurt you a bit there until you’re well geared.

Ty! I might try it soon, might be fun to be a newb war again /nod

Warrior is the least effected by not having Regen or Frontal Stun immunity compared to SK or Shaman. Also the stat aggregate isn't too harsh as a whole.

race dont matter.. gear does

Alli, they'd be crazy if they didn't let you tank, regardless of race!

ah dang I thought this was gonna be like the Innoruuk version of that Gnome race that just went down.

no it does matter, we need a dark elf noobie race :(
