Q:
Choosing class-need help
A:
Agree with Koki, but slightly more elaborated:
Warrior is relatively forgiving by having the highest base-HP and base-Armor, making it easy to play aggressive and dealing damage without having to worry as much about survivibility. This also result to them being easy/fast to level (only second to Ranger in my case) And in teams (PvE) people expect offensive support from you and that you do DPS, which is generally easier when learning fights (to buff your teams damage is the same every fight, to keep them alive tends to be a different story.)
I agree once again with Koki that it’s the best to play around with builds yourself, but to start of with Warrior equip Signets (passive increase to either damage or survivility) and the Arms-trait to give yourself more percision per signet equiped. Early on this scales extremely well giving you an easy start. Do experiment with builds when you feel comfortable to do so, since this set-up is not made for level 80s that team up.
As for gear:
Greatsword is an amazing all round weapon due to it’s mobility (3 + 5 do turn Auto-targetting off) and high Damage, combined with a second set with X/Warhorn for some Swiftness and AoE-weakness (to make open-world mobs hit even less.) Stat-wise either go Power / Percision to kill faster or Toughness/Vitality to survive longer. I personally always level in Power/Percision since I rather kill before I get killed, but I know some people prefer Toughness/Vitality.
Warrior,
Can’t/Won’t help you on the build part because I think this is something you should experiment with when you play the game the first time.
