Warrior for a raider with limited time

[PatChapp]

Warrior can solo fine with that much in gear just using bandaids.

[Snaggles]

I soloed a pally to 60 easily with only a DW helm and Reaver, later a narandi lance and a spiked seahorse belt. Absolutely with no intent to ever raid on p99.

Fast forward, I do raid the pally and get to tank a lot of stuff I never assumed I would. As a group tank outside a few nasty targets it's all the tank most casual people would need.

I would play a warrior if you want to play a warrior. This game isnt about the grind, it's about regretting what you could have had. If you care to ever dual-wield or hit that disc and soak up real damage: go warrior. If you would rather be able to root park and save a squishy class with a LoH: go pally.

I solo'd a rogue a lot with a ring 10, salindrite dagger, horn of hsagra, priceless weaps, primal bow, white dragon helm, fungi, cloak of flames, 2 x AoB items, chardok ring2, beads, aon, etc etc from level 5ish.

It's not as good as a 10k geared monk.

Ranger would have been infinitely more fun with that gear.

Why would a rogue need beads at level 5? And why get priceless weps if you got salindrite dagger / horn of hsagra?

Either way, same. Monk with SCHW + Peacebringer is better at solo than an ultra geared rogue

I think where the devs messed up was making monks good dps. They should be like below bards imo. Would have been a neat class still for pulling/mitigation, the concept of a monk is more peaceful anyway. And they’d be way more balanced. My monk was still topping Raid parses well into later xpacs

Constant cannibalizing has started to drive me crazy and I want something more chill.

Try soloing. Much less Cannibalization. I parsed my actions in group as shaman, 75% of them were casting Cannibalize / Grim Aura earring. 25% was split between slows, buffs and occasional heal.

It also gets better with Canni 4. Canni 3 sucks, and you have to cast it many more times than you would canni 4.

Yeah things get better with Canni 4 and Torpor.

A warrior can solo to 60, it was easier back with battle-bind wound and instant root nets. It's not the same as a knight though. Simply put, pally hps/second recovery even casting lowbie heals is better. At 45 its game over unless you have a cobalt bp (a DW helm is 400p), especially if you have to split spawns. SK would out level one easily as well.

Play a warrior if you want. It's a great class. Soloing a gnome with 100k in gear is pretty fun. It's still not easy once you run out of old world low hp blues.
