It's been a while! I wanted to share a final update with you all.

I hit 60!

I did 55 to 57 on the Qeynos barbarian bank guards, and then the rest of it in Neriak Arena. With Evasive, ToD, and Reaver, I was surprised that I could even stand toe-to-toe in melee with Svunsa, a level 50 NPC, and put him on farm.

I updated my gear according to the ECTank magelo I put together with your help. Indiana is now as geared as EC reasonably allows, save for SS armor MQs which I'm not sure I want to pursue since I'm now max KoS to CoV having farmed up a guardian robe [You must be logged in to view images.

It's been a few months now and - surprise - I haven't deleveled. Warrior at 60 is just too good. I love Evasive. At 7 min cooldown, it's less like a discipline and more like a built-in class skill like Mend. I love having over 4000 HP unbuffed. Nothing can kill me, I can just casually walk out of the zone. I love melee spam, and my spam is even better with triple attack.

And finally, I love sightseeing all of the nostalgic places in Norrath with my indestructible tank. I defanged the Maid and Butler in Mistmoore. I took out the royals in Sol B. I killed Najena in Najena. For me, the old world is my EQ. If P99 is a museum, then the warrior for me is the best way to visit. See you around.

Congrats! Not much to do at 60 besides raid and farm a guardian robe(which you did!). Time to reroll a new war. Go with a slam race for those huge stats and convenient interrupts.

He already did a gnome,the best race for a solo warrior. Anything without the haste arms is going to feel extremely weak.

Not necessarily. Is gnome technically the best? Yes. But Ogre for example will have 70 more str and 52 more stamina. Will allow more resist gear while nearly being stat capped, slam which is huge for any kind of dungeon grinding, and a higher cripple range. And FSI so less stuns helping offset the dps difference and not having to constantly recharge stuff.

[PatChapp]

The recharge thing really isn't very constant,by the level 40s a click of arms lasts 10+ minutes.
I leveled a cleric melee style and even keeping near 100% uptime only used a bit over 2 stacks of the mana batteries by level 50.
If you've never used the clicky arms,I highly recommend trying a gnome with them. Super fun leveling item,crazy over powered. With the arms and a fellspine belt your haste capped until level 50.
Ogre friend,troll/lizard regen really doesn't compare

[Snaggles]

Agreed on gnome. One FS sword every pays for the click (19mins duration at 60). Preshrunk even so no cobalt bracer needed.

Spend the time to camp a Plunder mask for half the haste? Hard pass.

I’m not denying gnome is the best solo war build. I’m just saying other races are not gonna feel weak, any race warrior with reaver haste and fungi is still gonna plow through things until you get to 50 when you realize you can’t solo shit since you can’t split mobs and you’re limited to the most basic camps. Just don’t roll gnome thinking you’re gonna steamroll everything bc you have 40% haste. I did a dorf war build with 200+ dex ( done gnome too) and got an eyepatch and still was very limited due to lack of cc.

Now if we had gnome sks…that would be something else. I think there’s like 1 on the server due to a gm exemption who probably quit like 10 years ago.

The haste is massive. Best case on blue you spend the time or plat (or both) to get a plunder mask which is half the effect. It’s one of the worst camps in the game. Or you get twice the effect with a tunnel buy and a stackable batteries.

I cut this post down like 500 words for once. I think my math is correct…

Best case with Reaver and a CoF, and a Plunder mask:
Ogre = 40 dmg 25 Delay
Gnome = 40 dmg 22 delay

Worst case no plunder mask for the Ogre (with a CoF, like the Gnome):
Ogre = 40 dmg 29 Delay
Gnome = 40 dmg 22 delay

Your numbers look right,but i have no idea how the rounding works on haste. I assume it has it round to a full number and would default to rounding up but I really dont know.

Tl;dr gnome arms are up there with fungi tunic for most op leveling items
