![]() No one else competed because they all know that dex is crucial to tanking on a warrior and figured that our bee-covered friend was beyond redemption.
Also. A non-tank warrior. Weeeeee. | ||

![]() If I were a min/maxer I would have rolled an Ogre warrior and put all starting points into DEX, knowing what I know about how things work with the game mechanics. Maybe 5 in AGI to avoid penalty for dropping below 75. It's so easy to max STR/STA with an Ogre as it is. Every little bit counts for DEX, if that weren't true you wouldn't have a noticeable difference when a Shaman buffs DEX.
A non-tank warrior is like a Rogue with rusty daggers. Not sure why anybody would want that.

![]() I think there is actually a reasonable argument to be made for ignoring proccing weapons. Its not one that I find convincing in the end, but its not nearly as dumb as you are making it out Tecmos (plus I haven't shaved yet this morning, so I feel compelled to join the neckbeard debate).
First, if I have done my math correctly at 125 dex a Sebilite Croaking Dirk+Wurmslayer will do about 10% less aggro per second on average than two Ringed Maces. They'll also do about 20% more damage and be more consistent as well. It's only when your dex gets high (say 255 with shaman buffs and VoG and improved gear) that the ringed maces are more like 50% more aggro/second. Of course, even with 10/18+25/40 you still aren't going to be outdamaging many rogues or monks, so you are counting on them to evade/FD to maintain aggro. For monks this is really no problem as FD has a very high success rate and completely clears aggro (not that it matters, since they tank better than you anyway). For rogues its a bit harder as they both do more damage and have a much lower success rate on evade. Even with casters who get aggro you are mostly going to rely on taunt to get mobs off them (or more likely, they'll root). The worst case is clearly any group with a bard who wants to slow the mob. Bards in general are the worst case for warrior aggro since they continually produce it (=hard to taunt off). TLDR: In the end the dex posters are probably right, especially if you are ever raid tanking. Putting your stat points in dex as an ogre would have helped, but thats water under the bridge. Buy a grotesque mask and get some carnal pauldrons in Sol B. Level up to 46 and get indicolite (+35 dex IIRC). Group with shamans whenever you can. My iksar warrior runs around with 125 dex and does OK (not great, but OK) especially when I can find a shaman. | ||

![]() Sometimes it's not just procs per min, but time to first proc.
You WANT the rogue to be able to start backstabbing ASAP. This game is old as shit, stop trying to revolutionize it. We know all the answers. | ||
