As a top 5 warrior on the server I can honestly tell you that Warrior threat is not broken what so ever. I can pull off with 2 taunt hits a slowing shaman. So its working well.

SK and pally have an advantage of being able to snap agro fast. Warriors can also do the same but we require items to do. (wont give away the tools of the trade) =-)

As far as growing up in levels, as with any class its going to take time for your skills to come into full swing. This holds true with any class.

It all depends on your play style and what you want to do. If you want to be MT for raids and tank dragons and gods. Go with a warrior. If you want to pull off great pulls and do some off tanking go with SK. If you want to be a backup healer and emergency resser and off tank go with pally.

Also keep in mind. A tank is only as good as healer that keeps him up. They go hand in hand. =-)

Thanks for the input man , I accually rolled a warrior yesterday , and someone gave me a executioners axe for doing them a favor , I realise this is not the idea weapon for a warrior , but I could probably sell it and get a decent proccing 1 hander to get me started , right now the warriors lvl 5 , so hard to say .I went wood elf with the race so i would have some natural dex think thats the stat that determines proccing ....

As far as the healers go , I been there , and was pretty good on my cleric back in the day , I generally play tanks or healers in mmos .

At this point in time, doing as much as I can to make sure I am going to be happy with the toon I choose for the long term .So I am doing the research early . I really appreciate all the feedback .
