Gearing for dex as a warrior

Just keep warrior under 20% hp and hell never drop aggro

but not specifically about gearing for reasonably gearing for dex

It's simply impossible to reliably tank on a Warrior in a good XP group that chews through L45 NPCs with 5000 HP in 30 seconds or so. 150 DPS is easily sustained with two rogues or one charmed pet plus you. The median time to proc with a full 255 dex is 14 seconds. The Bioluminescent Orb was the ticket before the (sorely needed) proc hate nerf, but it really only worked with single pulls in areas like HoT. A good XP group will always have fresh meat in camp. My suggestions:

• Pre-taunt mezzed mobs (autoattack off, tab, taunt, target nearest, attack on). If successful (40% or so?) you can start with a nice head start on the hate list
• Pick Enchanters over Bards for CC: you have literally chance to tank over a Bard, but an Enchanter can use dispel rather than slow.
• Pick Clerics over Shamans: CH works well on your huge HP pool while slow does not work well with your low threat
• Pick Monks, Magicians, Necros, and Enchanters over Rogues, Rangers: you can always tank ahead of pets, and Monk FD works better than Evade/Jolt.
• Don't worry about it. As long as the Cleric isn't calling OOM, it doesn't matter. Full speed ahead.

This isn't to say that DEX gear is a terrible idea, but I don't think the human brain can really register +0.3 procs per minute.

I proc my primal for the 100 dex just so I can proc my avatar again +0.3 times a minute faster next time.

Kinda. In the P99 disc there was a discussion of monk flying kick damage, where Rogean replied with "strength affects everything".

I am assuming this is what he is referencing.

In the context of str and flying kick damage that reply makes sense. To take Rogean’s reply out of context can lead to some fairly comical assumptions though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can think of a great many things in Everquest that str has absolutely nothing to do with [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can you guys recommend a +dex breastplate that's not awful for groups? Am lizard.

Not trying to hijack, but didn't really want to start my own thread. I am embarrassingly un-knowledgeable when it comes to warriors. I have a group of friends that have already leveled up a SK and Paladin.

We have no warrior in our stable...and I have the yearning of playing yet another alt from level 1. I don't have a ton of money...and rather than just dump everything I have into acquiring another fungi, I was thinking about doing a semi-twinked warrior designed for doing groups with at least a healer to make up for lack of fungi regen.

Any gear recommendations? This char hasn't even been made yet....but I like creating Magelos for gear planning. If there's any big no-no's you see or must-haves I missed, holla at me. The gear is just a hodge podge of stuff off our mule / things to be acquired.

I kinda went with AC > HP/STA > Dex route
