Is this still true? Want to create a warrior mainly for PvE, but later maybe PvP too

There will be a group of people out there who will want this realm to be entirely Mythic-like. Exactly like vanilla, drop rates/xp rates, basically everything and you will not be able to please them unless it is exactly like vanilla. These people have their nostalgia goggles on so tight it's cutting off the bloodflow to their brain and they believe that vanilla was perfect and nothing was wrong with it.

The difference in dex for blocking chance will be minimal (something 1-2%), you will block a lot with wichever race you pick but trolls do more dammage. For stats id go 10str/10 con/10 dex cause you already start with higher str.

Play what you want. I agree. Same thing for Skald, and for Savage. Race really makes no difference, play whatever you like the feel of.

Play what you want. I agree. Same thing for Skald, and for Savage. Race really makes no difference, play whatever you like the feel of. Not correct, difference in spike dmg is noticeable if you are a troll compared to kobold, but like said previously, for group it doesn't matter. I prefer norse cause I love them, but valkyn is also a good choice due to great quickness/dex and best resists on midgard and probably in game. As for buffs, we all know how fast most shamans/healers on midgard are in rebuffing during the fight...most of them will ask WHO NEEDS WHAT after the ****** fight anyway . Also, never take CON as starting stat for warrior, it's completely useless. Gives you very few extra hits, and you are in most cases the last to die anyway, which means fight is already lost. "He was concerned only with the naked fundamentals of life. The warm intimacies of small, kindly things, the sentiments and delicious trivialities that make up so much of civilized men's lives were meaningless to him. A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs. Bloodshed and violence and savagery were the natural elements of the life Conan knew; he could not, and would never, understand the little things that are so dear to civilized men and women."

If you want the most damage per hit make Troll, if you want the fastest swings and best defense make dogman or kobold, if you want a blend of the two make norse, and if you like being short and fat make a dwarf. The differences are so tiny in the grand scheme it really don't matter. Also, who cares about solo anyway?

I thought I couldn't and now I'm regretting that I made a norse warrior. The damage difference is quite noticeable, the defensive part is more or less the same. In case of optimizing your toon there is no way to chose any other race than troll.
