Warrior health?Follow

#1 May 24 2008 at 11:51 AM Rating: Decent

Am I missing something? Do warriors get more health per stam than paladins?

Im at 1035 stam and 13.5k health. My warrior tank friend has 974 stam but 14k health? Neither of us have +health enchants.

Warriors have a higher base health than Paladins. Where we kinda split our bonus between health and mana, warriors get all health.

Edit: Also if your friend is a Tauren he gets an extra 10% more health.

Every class in the game gets exactly 10 hp per point of stam.

Different races and racial bonuses will adjust the base HP.

Talent choices will give different amounts of stam in comparison to the actual tooltip stam of an item. Warriors have a talent that increases by 5%, and pallies have two talents that increase by 6% and 10%. So a warrior equipping a 50 stam item will actually receive 52.5 stam, while a pally will receive about 58.3 stam.

Armory links would be helpful in pointing out the reasoning behind the difference.

Yes warriors start with much higher base HP, but paladins get significantly more HP per point of stam than a warrior, I did some monkeying around on warcrafter and its not until you get to full T6 quality gear (around about 25k HP if you socket entirely for stamina) that a paladin actually ends up with more HP than an identically equipped warrior, this was based on a dwarf warrior and dwarf paladin.

Another point is the warrior gets an "extra slot" from his ranged slot, which is usually filled with a Gyro-Balanced Khorium Destroyer with a 12 or 15 stam gem, providing a pretty significant HP boost over our libram (which never has stam).

Yes, and no. It depends on where you look at the stam number.

If you look at an item and it says 50 stam, that item will give more hp to a properly talented paladin.

However, if you look at the character sheets where it says stam, that is adjusted after talents, so there paladins get the exact same as everyone else, 10 hp per stam.

It's a bit of nitpicking, I know, but I had to bring it up since I'm guessing the OP's stam values are from the character sheet.

Yeah when I stopped to think about it, I have less stam from gear as well. He only gets +5% stam. In reality, although our stam values are the same, He has more Stam from gear than me. Its an odd mix.

When you look at the already adjusted numbers on the paper doll though, and the Warrior has lower Stamina but higher health, it's because of the Warrior's higher base health. After all, the OP had already factored in talents and such, so bringing those out as a possibility is moot: he's already accounted for that by giving the paper doll numbers.

If you were to look at who will have higher health, then you need to factor in all those things because you won't just be pulling off paper doll numbers that already have those values factored in.

Also with the nitpicking: let's use the item giving 50 Stamina. Yes both classes will still only get 10 health per point, but Paladin talents give a higher % of additional points, thus making the item give the Paladin a higher health total than the Warrior, all things considered. The Warrior will get 52 stam (it's rounded down, yes?) or 520 health. The Paladin will get 58 stam or 580 health from that same item. This is of course the very basic sense as it could "round up" so to speak once you add this item's value with all other stamina values.
