You really have no idea how to play a Warrior, do you? I'm not going to hold it against you. You just need to admit it and be accepting to learn new things. You don't have to wear the shield. You equip it off-hand, hit Bash, and then switch your weapon back in. It happens in the blink of an eye. Slam is an unnecessary crutch for those who don't actually know how to play. Just like insisting that Ogre is the best race. But this thread isn't about race to begin with, so we don't need that nonsense.

Sounds like a lot of extra work just to be an elf warrior.

This isn't a thread about race. Quit changing the subject.

OP asked for input about many things, race being one of them.

Well he should definitely disregard any input from you.

My thought patterns are, at the moment, DE SK, or halfling warrior (love the XP bonus)... maybe troll warrior for regen

Decide on the class first, and then the race. A few notes:

You'll be kicking yourself in the butt often for picking a Dark Elf SK. Your STA will be low, which means lower HPs, and your STR will be low, which means you'll be often encumbered while wearing plate or carrying trash to vendor like Fine Steel. Of course, both of these things can be overcome with gear, so if you're going to twink, it should work out fine. They also have a pretty decent Mana pool to start out, but that's only going to make a noticeable difference while Fear kiting.

Halfling is a fine choice for Warrior, not only for the XP bonus, but because you will have access to Dwarven Plate and one of the most powerful racial skills - Sneak. Sneak makes it really easy to maneuver in zones that have lots of see invis mobs or a mix of undead and regular mobs (think Karnor's Castle for both cases).

I don't really like Trolls as the race for any class. They're a very middle of the road choice, so if you can't decide for certain whether you want higher starting stats or regen, maybe that's exactly what you're looking for. But if I were going to eat the EXP penalty just so I could have increased regeneration on a Warrior, I would rather pick Iksar for the bonus AC (and lolForagelol). Plus, the higher starting stats become negligible when all Warrior races can finish 255 in STR/STA/DEX while buffed.

For being right or just against your contrarian views?

See, this is what I was talking about earlier. Most of your "advice" was just misinformation from someone that isn't knowledgeable on the subject. There's no reason to be militant. Live and learn.

I ran a few warriors on p99. first woodelf, then dwarf, then troll then ogre and even a barbarian to level 5 once. I was happiest with Ogre with most starting stats into DEX and AGI at 75.
