Description

Warriors are the masters of armed combat and defense, taking the point in battles and going head-to-head with the most dangerous creatures of Norrath. Warriors are a melee class with the ability to wear plate armor and wield all types of weapons.

Warriors build their strength and stamina to unheard of levels, making them far hardier than any other class. When combined with their heavy armor and excellent defensive skills, warriors are unmatched in their ability to survive the most brutal battles. Warriors train themselves in the skills of combat, mastering the use of all weapons and tactics. Warriors also learn to taunt their opponents, making themselves the focus of all their enemies' attacks, allowing the less resilient members of their group to remain safe from harm.

Warriors are often the cornerstone of a good group, providing a strong defense while also dealing heavy damage to their enemies. Warriors fare poorly when adventuring alone, and are an excellent choice for those who enjoy grouping and taking the front line in battle.

Creation Guide

Picking the Right Race

The first thing you have to pick then is your race. Which race you pick will determine the foundation of you character for the rest of your life in Norrath so it is kind of important you pick one you like. Warriors need to take into account a number of things. Some armours only fit certain sizes of races. As you increase in level this becomes less of an issue, but it is something to be aware of. Also keep in mind that as a Warrior you have no spells, so races with poor night-vision (Barbarians, Humans) might want to be avoided if you are a first time player who does not know your way around the world too well.

Out of the possible races for warriors, Halflings level slightly faster than other races. Barbarians level slightly slower, Ogres significantly slower, Trolls and Iksars slower still. Some of the high level throwing weapons can only be used by Barbarians, Trolls and Ogres who also have the highest base strength. Iksars heal faster and get a natual AC bonus, but they cannot wear most plate armours. Trolls also have a natural healing boost, but are hated in most places. Ogres are also disliked in many towns and even though they do not get a health recovery bonus, they get a lot more hitpoints from their higher stamina, and cannot be stunned when attacked from the front. All of the large races also have the ability to slam.

Starting Statistics

Suggested Starting Statistics

The main focus of warriors is to sustain as much damage as possible. Here are our suggestions:

• Barbarian: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Dark Elf: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Dwarf: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Gnome: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Half Elf: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Halfling: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Human: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Iksar: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Ogre: Add 18 to Stamina, 7 to Strength or Agility.
• Troll: Add 25 to Stamina.
• Wood Elf: Add 25 to Stamina.

Experience Statistics

• Barbarian Warrior: +5.5%
• Dark Elf Warrior: +10%
• Dwarf Warrior: +10%
• Gnome Warrior: +10%
• Half-Elf Warrior: +10%
• Halfling Warrior: +14.5%
• Human Warrior: +10%
• Iksar Warrior: -8%
• Ogre Warrior: -3.5%
• Troll Warrior: -8%
• Wood Elf Warrior: +10%

What does it mean?

Certain races and classes require differing amounts of experience points to attain the same level. For example, a Halfling Warrior requires 85.5% of the experience that a Human Cleric would require to be the same level. An Ogre Warrior would require 103.5% of the experience that the Human Cleric would.

Religion

Generally speaking being agnostic is a fairly safe bet in Everquest. Religion serves only to get you into trouble in many situations. The disadvantage to doing this is that some items and some quests can only be done by followers of certain religions. Following a religion will at worst get you killed in some areas, but generally you can avoid these. Following Innoruuk is probably the most dangerous religion as they have the most places in the game where they are Kill on Sight. In the end it will not make an enormous difference to your character which Deity you choose.
