IMO once you have a nice proccing weapon like a PGT and some basic armor like large banded/bronze, your top priority should be DEX. Some people may disagree, but here's how I look at it. As a warrior, especially a lowbie one, you're going to have trouble keeping aggro. If you don't keep aggro, you can forget about damage mitigation because there's no damage to mitigate. The only way to keep aggro is to improve your DEX, because regular weapon aggro is based on the max damage it would do if it hit, not whether or not it actually hits for max damage (i.e., STR isn't gonna make a difference unless it's actually increasing your max damage (which IIRC doesn't happen at your level), and even then, your procs are the bigger issue). Especially as an ogre, you already have high STR and STA, so this point is magnified. So, make sure you have a nice proccing main weapon and offhand (shoot for an obsidian shard next), and then get as much dex gear as you can get your big meaty paws on.

Starting out new as a melee can be pretty rough (first 9 levels of my DE SK were painful), I just killed every skellie and bear I came across and made my money off HQ bear pelts and bone chips. As soon as I had the cash I bought full bronze and a BIBS and I was all set.

I have found it is much easier to make pp on here than it was on live, so you should be able to save up for some decent gear in no time.

I remember in live I made my first twink warrior and decked him out in full bronze and he wore some of those peices to his 30's

BIBS

What's that stand for?

Work on dex but tbo the better thing to do is take the hit on XP and group a ranger w/ ebony blades. Lets be honest, even w/ proccing weapons youll have a tough time keeping agro at lower levels . However if you are able to keep the mob rooted and you the closest to target , you will never l loose agro .... and TBO if the healer only has to heal you, XP will come faster negating the hybird penalty

So how much dex am I shooting for from 70? Keep in mind every point of dex I shoot for on gear is stamina/agility/hp's and in some cases AC lost.

Also is there an acceptable offhand proc weapon I can use instead of Obsidian shard since it doesn't proc till lv 16?

Thanks

I would just get the shard and deal with it not proccing until 16.
