Halfling warrior.. bad idea?

[Jedson]

hey all, thinking about making a halfling warrior, but as i have no alt or am able to gear him up is this a bad idea? wanted to call him Nobby Nobbs from guards guards haha

any noobie warrior advice would help thanks

Its not ideal. You would not be gimped either so if its what you want than play it!

If you want to min/max, Ogre is the best race. All the other races are about the same, but Halflings having sneak & hide is pretty nice. As someone who raids on a Dark Elf warrior, I'd suggest you play whatever race you want - it really won't make that big of a difference in the end (although again, Ogre is the best).

Play what you want to play. Halfling warriors are nice because they can sneak pull. You can get some nice weapons for cheap by farming stuff like bone chips, spiderling silks, high quality bear pelts, and selling to other players; plenty of good weapons for 100-200pp that will give you decent aggro ability early on.

If you start him let me know when you will be on. I'll be home late this evening. I'll give you some armor and weapons and plat. I should be available around 8-9 EST.

I think a wee little halfling tank is ultra-cool. go for it.

Don't forget! Halfling Warriors take the least amount of exp to reach 60 out of any warrior class!

I am not fond of the idea. Short races are hard to be able to see over other group members, even mobs to pull them or target to try to agro them. I made a Gnome one once, talk about a Horror Show. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I would not recommend it. I know a lot of Pallys are Dwarfs but they are not as short, and they are like a Ogre to Warriors, just the best choice. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is a reason short races stand on hills in groups and raids lol.

Halfling isn't even close to the worst race choice for a Warrior. Sure it might be a bit tougher playing a melee as a first character as opposed to a caster, but the only thing that matters is that you're having fun playing what you want to play.
