Warrior Advice on next steps
 

Hey all, looking for advice for my next purchase for my Gnome Warrior - he's level 34 now. I will basically be mostly soloing so i dont care about aggro weapons, just better gear for solo play.

I have about 8k to spend, could potentially stretch to 10k max.

What should I go for:

1 - Herbalist Spade, won't proc yet and not a huge fan of the shovel look
2 - Reaver, cooler looking, best ratio I can buy in EC, I can work around the no magic thing
3 - Iksar regen bp
4 - Cobalt bp
5 - Something else I might be missing?

Note: I already have spiked belt (34% haste) and the clockwork arms (40% haste)

Thanks in advance!

regen and a staff of battle for now, then save for 2x blood point for 50

Reaver & 2 embalmers skinning knives to get your bind wound maxed.

Then save for 2x bloodpoint/truncheon at 50. Shovel is good for prox aggro in groups, but since you're soloing the proc isn't reliable enough to CC really.

1) Iksar Regen BP
2) Reaver

Is the ~160hp per minute really worth the 10/21 ratio on bloodpoints? That's like one mob round, feels like better weapons would negate that incoming damage?

thats a correct assumption. relying on a proc is always a dangerous game. i have found better success killing more quickly with a reaver and just bandaging back up after the fight

I mean even if it procced regularly and more than it even should it feels like you'd benefit more from ending the fight early.

OP shovel is a great group weapon for war but if you're soloing fleeing mob and they're rooted you'll be taking a couple rounds of extra damage, not worth it unless you're somewhere you can't afford mobs fleeing.

I have two blood points in my warriors bag and piercing isn’t capped. I’d do what Crede and Zeld said. 2h the world and bum buffs whenever you can. Kill near a vendor that sells bandages. A ToD is still underrated if your team doesn’t have a slow caster. I think the BP’s are overrated. Even killing greens for exp like HK guards, you take more damage than you steal back.

Agreed,blood points are trash. Your going to take at least 2x the riposte damage if your solo vs a big 2h. In groups they are just decent dps/low agro option.
Reaver for solo,frostbringer + something once your 40 for groups
If money is a problem,staff of battle works fine

You want a trunch of doom ready for level 50,it makes a huge difference in solo warrior life.

Opportunity to practice archery and bind wound while waiting for root to fade.
