Bad idea to make a Halfing Warrior?

[Taluvill]

as a wood elf or halfling... for example, you'd have more dex/agi. Agi adds to your ac and such, whilst dex adds to your proc chance, which is absolutely nuts for warriors. That's how they hold aggro.

In the end, STA is by far the hardest stat to max with other stats decently high. So ogres and trolls just have such a mind numbingly high innate sta number that it is kinda dumb to make anything other than a ogre. Trolls Regen is basically nothing past 30ish, so yeah. they are useless except for more stats.

The thing is though, play what you like. You wont not main tank for a guild because your not an ogre. If you have better gear/stats, you'll Main tank. I'm actually planning a wood elf warrior myself, just to be different.

Play what you want to play. I prefer to group with gimptards to be honest.

I played a Halfling Warrior on live.

I was main tank many times for high end raid encounters, and we had plenty of geared ogres/barbs/trolls.

I tanked every raid target from Velious to Quarm in PoP. Then I quit. It was not an issue for the clerics to keep me alive.

Play what you want. The statistical difference between races is not so drastic that it warrants you to pick between only one or two races.

Yeah when it comes down to it, gear and skill are what make a tank. Ogre's frontal stun immunity is nice, but since it isn't working, then just go with the race you want to play. I played a gnome war (and then froglok war once they came out) and was a main tank and did just fine. Stamina is what you want to look at, but a few more base hp isn't going to be the determining factor. Like people said before, basic things like being able to corner a mob (shrinking down to fit in the corner so the mob is stuffed face-first in the corner), being able to snap aggro (pulling mobs off of your group), and knowing to turn mobs for your group so rogues/mag pets can backstab and if you have morons in your group that like to fight from the front and get eaten alive by riposte.

You'll notice a big difference in the low levels but once you reach the high end game it really doesn't make that much of a difference. Skill is more important than anything.

Back in the day pre pop some of the best warriros i saw were not ogres.

I played a Human Warrior originally, and at the end game it does not matter that much, even when the end game is level 50. You do not even want to know the number of hateplane raids I tanked just to get full Indicolite, with every other race as an off-tank.

We have a wood-elf warrior that has mad tanking skillz and can MT with the best of them.

Seems like most people are saying its gear dependent, if thats the case should I not make a Warrior until Ive already got a high level character with money to twink it?

halflings are gay...need proof? lord of the rings.
