while that may be somewhat true about the ogre Warrior where you gain in one are you will faulter in others. If you are like me and only have one very high level charc. Then you will be using your warrior for skills such as Pottery, Flethching, and Smithing. The skills do not go up as often for the Ogre because it has very very little Int and Wis. For an all around good warrior then you should go with a Human, and/or dare i say Elf >< . But if you just want raw bash'em out power, twinked out, ugly bad **** of a warrior, Then probably that best thing to do is go ahead and create your Ogre/Troll Warrior with massive amounts of Stamina. (i.e. Stamina gear is hard to find, most of the items that you will attain will be higher in Str stats then anything else)

Anyways, If i'm wrong then correct me. Its an endless debate.

eventually (and sooner now than it used to be) all melee stats will be max capped by the time you are worth anything as a warrior... then... the only racial bonuses that matter are the regen that trolls and iksars get... however iksars also get an ac bonus, that while small, is still an ac bonus =P therefore iksars win... tru ogres get frontal stun immunity(heard that arguement used alot) my iksar warrior has complete stun immunity aa along with all other warriors =P enjoy... btw iksars rule

Could someone please post how often the items for this quest drop? My guild is about to go on a 3-4 day trip to PoA for the various epic pieces that drop there. I'm a newbert when it comes to PoA...is it something that I could do on the trip, or is it something that takes 4-5 trips to get?
Does anyone have this?
# Dec 20 2001 at 10:33 AM Rating: Decent
Does this quest still work? Does anyone actually have this now that the epics are the norm?
I have played for 2 years and yet to see or even hear that anyone has this sword, but it obviously exists.
wtf are you smoking???

Of COURSE warriors want to deal damage, how the heck else are they gonna keep at the top of the hate list, and thereby tank??? This, a Wurmy, and the silver chitin handwraps (or the RBB or better) and you are one blasted whirlwind of an ogre. Did I mention my sta is red and the wurmy never tires me? You didn't know that? SHAME ON YOU pretty-boy warriors, BE AN OGRE!!! Immune to stun, no tired from wurmy and cot... ah, tons of hp, bash or kick... WTF were you pretty boys thinking? That you are AS HANDSOME as the chars you play??? Get a life, and BE THE BEST!!! btw, the wurm has one of the best dam to del ratios in the GAME, plus it gives ac, PLUS haste items give it lower delay, since it has more delay to be lowered... so keep on selling them, all my oggies will buy them up. I personally wouldn't lose the wurmy for anything other than an epic (or primal velium, and who wouldn't give up their first born for one of those?) and might not drop it for this, although my cot would hit the bin as my offhand weapon for this any second of the day.

Hehe Essar You Rock.

Couple things tho. Damage Delt Matters little on Aggro. Its more number of times you hit an opponent than for how much damage. Leave Big Hits for the Monks and Rogues. A Monk or a Rogue worth his salt will outdamage a warrior without even trying. What really sets us apart from them is out ability to take hits. Higher potential AC than any other class hands down. More potential HPs than any other class, and with fast weapons (Lammy and Defiance are good for this even tho they are very stereotypically Favorite examples)can maintain agggro even tho they are doing noticably less damage than a monk or a rogue.
I was like you once.(And I dont mean that as an insult or a flame) I used a Wurmslayer and a Shimmering Partisan and I tell you that with Haste I would lay some serious smackdown on Mobs. But I was never a main tank. I couldnt hold aggro from the other people in my group as well as I should have been able to. A guildmate put a Defiance and a Velium Swiftblade in my hands. Aggro never wavered once even though my damage went down. I immediately went to faster weapons.

Now back to the subject at Hand. I LOVE this weapon. It idealizes what a Warrior should be. Quick striking and TOUGH. 20 AC on a sword is incredible. Dont even look at any other stats besides the speed and ratio 11/21. Pretty fast and lots of potential. Usable in either hand is a good thing. The other stats arent worth mentioning because, quite frankly, they dont matter. In the high end game, stats become less and less important. AC is king for a Main Tank period dot end. And LO! Verant in thier ultimate wisdom (*Coughbullcough*) gave us a weapon worthy of questing for in the Plane of Air. Honestly, thank you VI.

Ok WTf are you smoking???
Ac only matter til 1350 in high end game . The str adds Attk and the 100 hps is uber. the agi adds ac also but the hps are major here too.Fast weap in primary and slower in offhand. Here go to my magelo and see a real warrior.Pure hps is what every warrior wants after 1350 ac.

Actually, most warriors who have experience in the endgame would beg to differ with your opinion that "AC is king." MOST warriors with such experience will seek to equip themselves with items giving raw HPs, NOT AC.

This is not to say that AC isn't important, of course. However, any way you slice it, at the levels we're speaking of, HP > AC.

Warriors neeed to keep a various weapons at thier disposal. Not just one kind. They need a weapon for every situation, when they're tanking, they need hate giving weapons. When they're not tanking, and there WILL be times when they won't have to tank, they should use high dps weapons. Warriors deal damage, heck everyone does. But we know Monks and Rogues are the best at it. And in spell casting, Wizards and Mages are. Warriors epics are still pretty good aggro holders, with 500pts of hate. Yes Boc is better with 700pts but you don't see many warriors shelling out 400k for one? For dps, they can use some pretty nice 2handers. Reavers, Windblades, the list goes on. This weapon would be good for dps, unless you can augment it now with LDon. Anyways, I just wanted to throw my 2cp into this disscussion. I hear that the quest pieces needed for this are quite rare drops. So it might be better to just shop for something or try and quest for something else.

Taunt is god not ac not hp taunt. Taking the hit is the most important part, let the rest of the party worry about your hp and ac. If you cant keep the mob on you because your worried about ac not weapon dam/delay then your group is toast no matter what your ac and hp is.
RE: Not even
# Apr 29 2002 at 3:46 PM Rating: Default
Interesting points there.

Yes as MA you need to be sure that you are taking the hits, but if you know how to play the class of warrior, then you will be able to keep tht mob focused on you.

I used to think that Warriors were supposed to be this all mighty, forever the largest damage dealer on all of norrath..I go put in check...

Rogues and Monks (as previously stated) are the best at damage dealing in the game, and are thus blessed with the great gifts of evade and FD to avoid the attention of the mob.

THAT is where your TAUNT comes in...HOWEVER...AC AND HP are always the necessity...The higher the ac the less damage you take, thus the less mana is being spent on your sorry butt to keep your hide alive, thus then again, less chance of your healer getting the aggro of the mob.

NEVER...EVER.. say that Taunt is GOD, because it is far from it.

PS

Nice posts Harnak and Zuggzug...

Couldn't agree more. Sure, AC is important, but the only part that doesn't require AC is your weapon. A 15/19 is soo much better than a 15/26 with 50ac. Honestly, what is all that AC gonna do when that dragon is creaming all the casters? You say you need to be able to take hits, true, but thats exactly the point, you gotta make sure YOU ARE ACTUALLY TAKING HITS.
RE: Not even

to the first post:
if AC and HP don't matter, than why even bother getting AC and HP equipment? Hell, even buy armor? Just go the entire game working on your weapon. because, base AC and HP are important for anyone, even if you're in a group where AC and HP buffs are supplied. this sword gives 20 AC, the greatness of that in a 1hs is pretty self explanitory.

AC and HP are the most important things a warrior has if he cann't tank he my as well make a rogue and go 2hs.... Warrior ARE NOT THE MAIN DAMAGE DEALERS.... that job is for Rogues monks rangers and casters... the only thing a warrior is for is to take the hits... i know the power of rogues.. i grouped with a baddass one he had a ragebringer and a willsapper and made my damage look pathertic.. h also had 1.1k ac...

Have you ever seen a ranger trueshot? 'nuff said. Warriors suck at damage, I say that with my main being a warrior. with a defenders lightblade (offhand of course) I am lucky to break 85, and that rarely. Thats worse then normal ranger bow damage, worse then ranger melee damage, and horrid compared to a trueshotting ranger.

This weapon is much better than the warrior epic, might not be as good damage/delay wise, but for warriors, damage is not their primary goal, their primary goal is to take damage and have the highest hp/ac they can possibly have. This sword achieves both of these, 20 ac and 100 hp on a sword is simply awesome.

11/21, 20 AC, 100 HP, need I say more?
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 06 2001 at 1:26 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It's worth noting that the salderan spear out of skyshrine, fairly common drop of a pussae mob, yields the same "amazing" ratio.
Furor uses this?
# May 17 2001 at 5:00 PM Rating: Decent
I'm not positive on this but i beleive this is the weapon Furor, guildleader of FOH, uses or used to use. Correct me if I am wrong, and id also like to point out that this is probably still the best warrior weapon in the game, even with the release of many new TOV weapon stats and such. Only thing i can think of that comes close is the Primal weaps, or that weap that gives 100hp from TOV forbidden area.
