As a nit-picking, I tanked Mayong Mistmoore many times in the past and had (files lost long ago … many hard drives ago …) where I never received any DI over 17. I was in content appropriate gear with full ac augments in every slot. I do not recall what my ac was at the time but I was serverwide in 2nd place behind another warrior by a pinch. Granted I was also a warrior and not a shadow knight so that skewed things in my favor vs parses by a shadow knight. What I do know is that it was. At that time, possible to statistically eliminate any DI over 17 on raid targets and anything over like DI11-12 on hard group content. It was the equivalent of an “I win” button. Tank swaps were never needed and the damage was smooth and predictable enough that clerics wouldn’t have to pay attention. Spikes were more or less eliminated. Average dps doesn’t kill tanks. Damage spikes and back to back bad rounds kill tanks. That was true then and remains true for p99. Early on in the debates I was the weirdo … the problem child. Clerics who grouped with me and raids that healed me did take notice that the big heals may hit for less … but only because the damage intake was steady and predictable. A+ document file! I favorited it on my browser for future reference. Unfortunately I cannot speak for p99. I would love to gather parses but it would be impossible to do so reliably with current rule set … and p99 on my anecdotal observations seems very different than live was. Ultimately, I can say that AC is important at any level of the player and across all levels of content. Without the kind of customization that augments allowed, you’re kind of locked in to typical gear progression regardless. With few exceptions (like these earrings) the best choices are obvious and have both high ac and high hp. Edit: in closing, total hp has always been the dick measuring metric. Personally I’d rather have a tank with 100 more ac than a tank with 300-400 more hp (p99 AoW notwithstanding)

Soloing a warrior these days is much easier. Any velious bp gives stellar returns on between fight recovery and you should have enough ac/hp/dps to engage a good mob with 70% health and reliably beat it down.

I recommend Blood Runed Greaves because you can sell them once you're closer to BiS. I also recommend Iksar Hide Cape over hierophant's cloak if you're close to STA soft cap (205 with shaman buff / 185 if a shaman in your guild has PE hammer). Quote:

For those who raid, how hard is it to buy loot rights to Rekeklo's War Sword? I'm assuming it just rots every time.

honestly just get a truncheon of doom, herbalist spade, and reaver and you got all your basis covered... you could probably get all of those just by selling your sboz. those 3 are more than sufficient to grind to 60 on, and will be cheaper and more effective than any loot rights you gonna buy.

So, on topic, where is a good spot for a warrior approaching 50s to solo?
I have a 47 warrior with iksar chestplate, belt of contention, frostbringer and skean. Greater kobolds are largely xp green now, but sonic bats are still off the menu. Where to go?

Spirocs in TD are good, relatively chill. Couple spots you can just kill 3-4 every cycle.
I was using a spade/seahorse belt/fungi so you may not be able to kill as many. | ||
