Default Making a Warrior

I've been thinking about rolling a little Warrior for a while now, pretty much settled on Halfling. Realistically I probably won't get to raid level, but also my lowest level alt is 55. This gear is mostly just stuff that I have already, asterisk is my guess at what I should go for.

* Neck: Enchanted Dwarven Plate Collar *
* Head: Dragon Tooth Choker
* Ears1: Earring of Essence
* Ears2: Fingerbone Hoop *
* Face: Eyepatch of the Shadows
* Chest: Fungus Covered Scale Tunic
* Arms: Crystal Chitin Armplates *
* Back: Cloak of the Maelstrom
* Waist: Spiked Seahorse Hide Belt
* Shoulders: Chokidai Hide Pauldrons *
* Wrists1: Silver Chitin Wristband
* Wrists2: Silver Chitin Wristband
* Legs: Enchanted Dwarven Plate Greaves *
* Hands: Blood Runed Gauntlets *
* Fingers1: Djarn's Amethyst Ring
* Fingers2: Platinum Fire Wedding Ring
* Feet: Barbed Dragonscale Boots

* Primary: Reaver
* Secondary: Talisen, Bow of the Trailblazer *
* Range: Idol of the Thorned
* Ammo:

I do have some plat to throw at this twink, but I don't know if something like CoF for example is worth it over the seahorse belt I already have. Open to any suggestions you guys might have.

I assume I'll be doing a lot of soloing at least until ~40+ but at that point I'm not sure what 1h weapons I'll get the most mileage out of. Or should I just go with Herbalist's Spade for grouping?

Pick up a frostbringer/silken whip for grouping or spade depending on budget. Both are fine. Also get a truncheon. Rest is fine.

The best name for a Warrior that I have is Facesmasher. So I think it fits a small race ironically, or one of the big boys. But I also like that I can do a little something with Halfing sneak-pulling and limited wall hacks. I can also hide, camp out and clear a PH on my enchanter.

I also like Barbarian, something real classic and nostalgic about that combination. I could afford a cobalt bracer so that's not a limitation. Leaning towards HFL but I'm still undecided.

Yeah I'm gonna pick those up and the cheap stun proc hammer. The goal is to group where I can not so much level efficiently, probably join one of those guilds like Friendly Druids. Just something to mess around on but I have some plat so I might as well get him properly geared.

I went dwarf,wish I had went halfling. Gear gets to a point ra e is meaningless, but never needing shrink to corner tank is legit.
Bracer click works ofcourse but is slow and annoying.

Get a dragon tooth choker for your neck and a skull shaped barbute for your head
That gear will get you to 60 either way

Dorf is pretty cool, keep a stack of ale in your inventory and pass it out to celebrate a good night of grouping. Also looks cool in classic plate/your BIS headgear. Halfling has a bucket on his head, but I guess with my name I have to embrace looking a bit silly out there. I do have a skull shaped barbute so that's easy.

Where did you put your starting stats? We're both blessed with 90 dex to start off with so I assume stam is a pretty safe play.

1h's are necessary 1-29 (damage cap) and then again for raiding at 60. Otherwise you should just be reavering or spading.

If you're in a raid guild, look to grab a KT or Dain 2her as a better version.

On my halfling war, I really enjoyed sol a—being small is nice and you can sneak buy/sell to goblin merchant. CC has similar vibes, but being able to buy/sell anywhere is really pretty luxurious.
