After blowing out of Abbadon's mouth due to two tanks with Leeroy syndrome, I advertised for "warriors with an iq"

We went in with three new warriors.. all w/mos.
I was.. scared.
Throughout the mission quotes two of them:
"Should we wait for energy?"
"Its my job to protect squishy casters" (after intercepting enemies/rushing to deal with patrol that snuck behind)
"Do you want us to hang back so you can nuke from here without us agroing the seal"
"I knew I should have picked a different secondary profession so that people would not doubt my intelligence, but I wanted to make the monks life easier"

Its a damn shame they were already in guilds

c'mon you are ridicolous. warriors are the best all over, and can beat every class. whith no problems. i hate those noobs who give a bad idea of this perfect class. a warrior perfectly used is unbeatable, according to the right buid whit the right enemy.

There is no worst class. There is no best class. It all depends on how you play with your class.
Look at your post... Here I'll highlight.

For one, he'd of made the monks lifer easier if he attacked quicker, and killed faster. Because he'd not be taking damage for so long... For two, since he didn't speed up his attack with the tigers fury. What did he do, to help the monk?

Cast healing breaze? ;/.

Damn, this is an old thread. As you would discover by actually reading the thread, I meant Warrior and not Tank (bad use of words and whatnot). Anyways, this is so old I can't remember what I was trying to prove, so I'm not going to try and argue. It has since been proven (IWAY was probably the first instance) that Warriors can be useful in PvP. As far as I'm concerned, that's the end of the issue.

Not all warriors are noobs, but many are. I played ranger as a starter class, and completed the game on a monk. I've completed prohphecies on all professions but warrior just appeals to me most, mainly because it's more fun to get great weapons for them, and for the speed of killing (if you know what you're doing).

But having said that, people like Lambada and Racthoh etc (many more I haven't listed) are only a small percentage. Most warriors are complete Leeroys.

Oddly enough in a FoW trip earlier we had a Warrior using Mending and Healing Hands... Some might say thats not odd. But the point is he actually used Healing Hands on people other than himself. Some of them are idiots... but hey some out there realise that if someone else is dieing, give them a hand!

Just like every other class Warriors are easy to play, difficult to truly play well.
To address some other comments made: If properly used, any class I repeat any class combo used properly can stand toe to toe with a w/m. Not saying I could do it(I'd need practice first), not saying its easy but its doable.
On the same note, i once ran into a warrior who gives you guys the bad name. It was in the lower shiverpeaks somewhere i think, and he died and ditched. He was our only warrior. So the casters were all that were left.
We proceeded to beat the mission faster than i've ever done it since, working more smoothly than I do with all but my guildies. We breezed through that mission like it was nothing. Just cause we all knew what we were doing.

One Day in FoW.
I said "Please don't aggro. At least waiting for me to set up spirits(I'm a Ritual Lord)"
The Warrior said "I can't wait. I'm born for fighting!"

I don't know whether most warriors are noob. But I'm sure that most noobs are warriors.

idk it kinda seems to me that you guys are complaining for complainings sake. youll never have trouble finding a group in pve, you dont have ppl who openly hate you and you deffinatly dont have the skill issues that some classes have, namely assassins.
their skills are designed to be played like a warrior, they have necro strength armor, they arnt a requirement to a good group, low health, and lastly are hated for not being a warrior or a tank.
i feel for you, noobs are a problem but they can make do as a warrior but they are embarassments as assassins.

On the platemail helm: +1 strength does nothing, as does the attribute generally.. You want a +1 to weapon mastery mate.
