Halfling Warrior

[Makken]

I want to roll a halfling warrior as an alt. But before I sink time into this unconventional choice, would this combination be viable end game? Could a halfling main tank a raid?! If you have an end game halfling warrior, post photos of their awesome tufted feet!!

My halfling warrior is unreasonably fun. Perfectly viable end game.

It's been said a hundred times over. Race really doesn't matter much. There may be the odd raid fight where size is an issue if you don't have AoN or such. Frontal stun immunity may help you apply aggro a bit faster but there's nothing that can't be tanked by other races and it's not uncommon to see raid tanks that aren't ogres.

Most of the benefits of racial choice affect solo or small group. Whatever disadvantages Halflings have are IMO made up for by not having an XP penalty and even an XP boost, so many players never make it to 60 as the time investment is huge. Hide and in particular sneak is very nice, huge QoL. Not being hated everywhere is quite nice too. Stat disadvantage isn't that bad either with Velious gear being available. With BIS-gear all stats more or less will be capped.

Since your focus is on end game viability, yes they are viable.

Here are my feet, but boots are on. Sorry. Also not end game either. A couple of 'steps' before that.

Halfling Warriors used to have a unique advantage compared to other Warrior races on P99. They could do something called sneak pulling, where you could pull single mobs while sneaking (all halflings get sneak as a racial bonus). That was removed years ago, so halflings no longer have this benefit sadly. That was a good reason to go Halfling Warrior when sneak pulling was a thing.

Sneak still has some benefits for a Warrior. It does allow you to buy/sell from merchants you wouldn't normally be able to if you are sneaking and interacting with them from behind. You can also turn in quests this way if the faction requirement is indifferent or lower.

If are set on playing a small race Warrior, I would suggest Gnome if you don't hate their look. Gnomes Warriors get https://wiki.project1999.com/Clockwo...hman_Vambraces , which is a rechargable 40% spell haste clickie. This means you can get up to 81% haste yourself with worn haste + spell haste. Out of the three small races, that is probably the best perk in 2025.

Any race can Warrior raid tank, you just need good enough gear and the proper knowledge for the encounters.

Go gnome, buy clockwork clicky arms. Have maximum fun. Any race is fine,means almost nothing end game. Ogar is overrated

He’s amazing. Brings a tear to my eye.

Thanks for the info! I will consider gnome—love the Velious plate for gnomes.

For reference on the arms,I leveled a cleric with them recently just hit 50. Mostly solo and 100% uptime(while xping) on the haste buff,I went through exactly 2 stacks. At a cost of roughly 1000p per stack they are very economical.

Maybe a stupid question, but does it matter how I allocate points between starting stats if it all maxes out end game? I know common wisdom is if you roll a gnome or halfling dump it all in STA. But does it hurt to put like five points in STR?
