if you know something i or anyone else dont know say it here! and i play my warrior very well ty


It's not that I know anything other people don't but I'll say this:

Warriors hold threat better than lancers

You should never dodge through a BAMs legs in a party

With the Endurance boost, Warriors have more defense than Lancers (glyph)

If you don't know how to keep your stacks up, that's a problem with you.

Warriors have 2 (3 potential) stuns at their disposal, BAMs / Bosses shouldn't move around too much. Really only when they do some rushing / jumping attack.

Warriors increase damage of their party, regardless of if they are tanking or dpsing.... if people are picking another DPS over you, then they are misinformed. (Personally never been turned down for a party because I was a warrior.)

Err...I know the tanking thing can be argued to be a bit off with them (But this is already getting addressed next large patch). Last I checked though, good warriors are 80-90% of the damage a good slayer or sorcerer can do, in addittion to bringing buff/debuff that increases damage of everyone else in the party. They're a highly valued and viable class.

Warriors are not as complicated as anyone wants to think. I've tanked CR, soloed BAMS, and have no problem filling a tank OR dps role.

The problem is people don't want to pay to reglyph. So they'll have some good glyphs for tanking and some good glyphs for dps, resulting in them not being spectacular in either. A warrior will have an extremely tough time holding aggro/tanking without being glyphed for it. The same goes for being good DPS.

I find myself resetting my glyphs on a daily basis.

a close third are High Elf men.
I think that should be first, not third. I almost submitted a bug report for the character creation screen because of that confusion. I was VERY confused when I first clicked race selections, selected Elf, and out popped pictures of two girls...

What stack system are you talking about?

There are actually two.. I thought you were talking about the 13x Traverse Cut stacking?

When you hit end game, you'll notice how warrior's sustained single target DPS will end up doing more than a Slayer's.

Those stacks only affect 2 moves... 1 of which you won't get until 58 or 60..
