Newish player. Should I play Iksar Warrior? Or go hybrid?

[fortior]

I made an iksar warrior with a small budget up to 29, at which point I got lucky and ended up with an iksar BP, good weapon, etc.

It still was many, many times worse quality of life than shaman or hybrid, and I eventually ditched him. You can do it if you want, but keep in mind you'll be 100% group dependent, so you better make lots of friends if you want to do anything.
