It's a good idea to invest one point in skills (weapons one) and let your play raise them. The exception to this is your job skills...for lack of better words. Fletching is a must. So pop as many points into them as you can. As to level caps I suspect you can find more exact info on a web site. |

There is no perfect strategy for grouping a wizard; one must learn to match his spells to the classes of the group.

AC is the main focus of a tank. However I accept some compromises in order to improve dex and agility. I think part of this is what level you are. As you get higher the mobs do more damage so AC becomes even more important. However I have tried as a Barb Warrior to keep 100 agil and dex ( or nea |

I somewhat agree, but it didn't stop me from Retiring my 37th Dark Elven Warrior and Starting an Ogre Warrior (Now 32nd)
I find the Not Stunnable from front, 2-H with Bash combo to be the best.
Personally, as I'm an Ogre, it allows me to sacrifice strength Items for Dex Items

I have to disagree with what many of you are saying. The number one role of a tank is to TUANT the second role is to take damage and last is to inflict damage. To be a good taunter u have to be able to deal enough damage to pull them off the casters.
Thats why i think an orge warrior maxed out |

interesting point there Lasae. i thought having a higher attack number, which moves up if u add str, meant a better chance of hitting the mob. I just always assumed that.

Attack Rating Defined |

As your attack rating which is linked to your offense/weaponskill/strength increases, your average hit increases (sometimes called "the magic number"), along with your maximum hit.
However ATK is not linked to how often you successfully hit. |

To quickly get your 2H blunt skill up, go grab an "abandoned orc shovel" (NO DROP) from one of the tents at the orc camp in Lake Rathe. It's lousy damage, but the delay is quite small. Then, train with it on blues.
By the way, greens that are high enough for you to get experience are also good |

Ok, this is basically all a warrior is: a person who takes damage. You are not made to DO the MOST damage, leave that to monks, nukers, rogues, etc... you are made to TAKE the MOST dmg! The only reason that a warrior needs STR is so that they dont get encumbered. put your points into agi, and sta! s |

Don't use 2H weapons to taunt.
I use the fastest 1H weapons I can get my grubby hands on. The key is to have more attacks on the hate list to move you up it. Also, when you hit taunt, you ALWAYS become the target on a successful taunt. If your using a slow 2H weapon, the first person who hits it |

This is correct.
Damage dealt out is nice, but not your primary concern. Your job is to piss off a mob and keep it pissed off at you no matter what. As the mob is busy being mad at you and you do 80 dmg a round, the ranger and monk can whack away for 120 and the rogue can backstab for 400.

The role of a warrior is not neccesaraly to take the most damage. You're going to piss your cleric off if you constantly charge into the fray and get down a bubble of health in two seconds. There are other tank classes, monks for instance, who have high enough AC and dodging skills that they rarel |

No real need to group with a druid to kite, just a couple of pp will get a nearby druid to cast sow then you just tag, run and nuke.

Wrong. We ARE the human (or ogre) shields.
As I've said before, we don't even come close to doing the best damage. Our only skill is being able to tank. We do have the highest AC in the game.
