1. Race: Human looks the best. Gnomes have 40% haste click on arms.
2. Taunt sux.
3. A warrior in cripple mode with a good 2hs will out damage monks and even rogues on raids. Warriors hold aggro through dps.
4. Get a full set of the cheap hp gear you can find. HP > all.
Some other notes:
Warriors get stunning kicks at 55. This is an amazing ability because of the high cap in kick vs slam. Larger races get slam, but after 55 it should not be used anyways.
Archery is super important for initial aggro. Make sure to throw an arrow at every mob that is pulled.
Bind wound is your friend, level it.
Alcohol tolerance is awesome. Any time you lose aggro drink 5 brandies.
Carry a bag of 10 wooly spider silk nets. Root is awesome.
Put your initial points into stamina. STR, DEX are really easy to cap in velious with buffs.
Use a Jarsath Trident + Green Jade Broadsword till 40. Buy 2 yak clubs at 40. At 50 get two Blood Points and a Truncheon of Doom.
Use all of the utility weapons (snare, slow, dot)
