are warriors really worth playing?

[Topgunben]

I really see no advantage to playing the warrior class other than an exp bonus over sk and paladin.

The 6 hp per stamina vs 5.2 seems trivial. AC seems to be more important than HP, because healing spells are for a set amount and not % based.

Also, SK has lifetap line and Paladins have heals and LOH, among other things.

I guess what I am trying to get at is the warrior class doesnt seem to be more tanky than an sk or Pal. Warriors dont do more damage either. So whats the point of playing one?

I'm a newb to the game but these are my thoughts so far.
