Hail and well met my brothers and sisters of the sword.
My name is Rulor and I'm a sometimes frustrated young Warrior.
My lament... ok, ok... my WHINE
ops: is that when solo... and solo is what I mostly due... I can't deal with adds... beyond running or dying.
I'm the type of player who fights what the Devs want me to fight... I go for the 2 dot mobs of maybe +2 to my level but usually only +1 at most.
I occasionally fight the odd even con or -1, 3 dot... and don't do all that well I might add, though I tend to win.
I don't aspire to handle uber +4 or 5 of my level or 3, 4, or more dot mobs... just what the Devs want me to fight.
Now I'm quite content overall with my performance and "kill pace" ... but when I get adds... ooh mama... watch out... 9 times out of 10 I have to bail and about half that time manage to get away alive... if Sprint is up.
I'm only Lv 10 and I'm hoping this will get better... if you look at my kit you'll see from my stats I'm not all that bad off... as a matter of fact I was shocked to see that I've got 300 to 400+ more HP than most Lv 10 Warriors on Woefeather, and a good 100 to 200+ AC :shock:

All I did gear wise was go to the Broker and buy the best of anything I could find that was less than 1sp 50cp each.... and kitted myself out with about 12'ish silver... give or take a bit.
So, after having done this "comparison" to others I had to wonder how badly are most faring with adds?
Maybe I just don't play a Warrior well... entirely possible as I'm not the most gifted of players, LOL.
I have a Lv 9 Pally and he handles adds, even 2x +1, 2 dot mobs with ease... EASE !! It's of course due to the heals.
However, conceptually I love and prefer my Warrior... oh... and I'm probably one of like 3 Warriors in the whole game who has no aspirations to MT in groups or raids... just let me sit back and dual wield/DPS and I'm happy... but danged if he's not getting frustrating to play due to adds.
And as someone will inevitably ask: "If you prefer to sit back, DW and do DPS... why a Wariror and not Offensive Fighter?"
Fair question... I DO like to tank... I just don't care if another Tank comes along and wants the MT spot... plus... plain and simple... I like the look of Plate armor :twisted:
I find myself logging my Pally on more and more simply because he can solo so much better with far less frustration... yet when things are going fine, 1 vs 1 fight... I enjoy my Warrior more.
Like the subject line says... maybe I just need a pat on the head and a:
"It'll get better lil' fella, don't'chu worry none." :lol:
Thanks for your time.
Take care all.
