In the beginning I'd like ta think AC is more important due to most warriors will want ta solo. When ya get passed 20, forget ya soloin days and look for a group. Weapon Training The best part. They come in all sizes and shapes. From fists ta huge axes.
Warriors are the master of melee.
We can wield almost any weapon in all of Norrath save for pure mages wimpy stuff. We donna need a water crystal staff that can choke our enemies, I'd rather slice 'em down with a reliable axe and kick 'em 'til he screams like us women. Quicker strikes means the skill is checked for often and therefore the skill will rise quicker than a slower weapon in the field. It's not ta be looked down upon, mainly because there aren't any special 1H blunts out there for high level warriors. Blunt - As stated before, there aren't any high end 1H blunt weapons for warriors only, but it donna mean you should over look this field.
