Tips for a new Warrior

[Samoht]

1. Race: best race is a toss up between Ogre (for naked stats and frontal stun immunity), Iksar (for regen and armor bonus), and Halfling. That's right. Halfling. Innate sneak is OP. They can also wear the dwarven cultural mentioned above. Every other race is bad for its own reasons.

2. Warrior aggro sucks while leveling. Particularly so if you're not twinked extremely well. There are a few weapons that proc at level 1: smoldering brand and venomous axe of velium brood. Obsidian daggers proc somewhere after 10. Look to dual wield skorpikus claw impalers by level 30. Grouping with a root casting class can help with aggro. Just remember to stand closer to the mob than all the rest of the melee after it's rooted.

3. DPS can be alright. A lot of warrior gear has decent str, and there are tons of cheap weapons with insane stats and ratios like wurmslayer, fist of zek, jarsath trident, and a few more that don't immediately come to mind.

4. Gear: agi over 75, AC/armor, HP (and stam up to 255), dex up to 144, and MR are most important for a warrior. Ogre, Dwarven, and Iksar cultural all have some decent pieces to help if you pick appropriate races. If you follow Rallos Zek as your diety, then you can also wear Human cultural no matter which race you picked (except Iksar). 65 HP rings and haste will help a lot, too. FBSS or sash of the dragonborn preferred. Leave SCHWs for monks and rogues. Orc fang earrings. I could go on.
