Hi Mighty Meat Shields,

I read a fex posts on US/GB/French forums but I nearly only see people complaining about their warrior, the difficulty to hold aggro, the poor DPS, the lack of "flavour" of the class, ...

I will begin VG in a few days and I am still wondering which class I will play. I am hesitating between a Tank and a SHM, quite different will you tell me...

When I played DAOC with my Infiltrator, I was dreaming of those killing machines in full plates holding aggro and killing mobs while protecting their comrades with their intercept and taunt skills.
In WOW I finally played a Warrior and cried every day because of the useless aspect of a full Defensive Warrior compared to the classical damage dealer types. They could, with a shield equiped, do as well as I did to keep aggro, while being able to solo mobs quite easily.

But, my interest in real tank is not dead and I am hesitating now between the 3 protective avatars.

- After 2/3 weeks of playing what is your general feeling about warriors?
- Does the class fulfill its role and give you some pleasure while playing it?
- Is it just a question of spamming a few touches, or is it more complex?
- Can you hold your place in a group or are the DK and PAL, more (much more ?) interesting to play in general situations (Pal is the must for undeads).
- Is the lack of magical powers of the warriors a handicap or do they compensate it with other skills?

Well in fact, is it FUN to play a warrior and do you have your role in a group?

See you soon in game.
