Salvage an old WF?

[MarcusCleardawn]

Hey folks. Just came back and have a lvl 12 WF fighter with a paladin past life and tons of greensteel. I still have a LR +20 heart of wood, but I'm getting the impression what with Reaper and the like that the Warforged are rather out of meta. Any suggestions on how I could respec this TR into something that can make it to cap and TR into something more viable in the current market?

Thanks. Alignment is True Neutral for back when Stability items were the shizzle.

Take it to 20 and TR would be my advice and save the +20 Heart of Wood, you could just run Elite up to 20 and then look at stuff to run in Reaper depending on how long you have been gone for a LOT has changed so take the time to re-learn the game before diving in to the deep end so to speak

honestly being wf isnt really a huge deal. in fact if you were to have 10 racial ap my personal opinion is that wf is a very powerful race for dps and probably the best for fighter. obviously you dont have those ap, but im just explaining the state of wf in the game.

more immediately, being a fighter is really good (perhaps less good than another class of multiclass of whatever sort, and also somewhat more dependent on gear than a lot of other builds). high damage capacity, high defenses, and high tactical dcs are a strong combination. their only weak points are lack of utility which can be either ignored (traps, who cares about those, heavy armor prr/mrr is win) or mostly made up for with umd (heres where fighters are mostly gear dependent), and self healing. honestly you can fix all of those things with a rogue splash but pure fighter is really strong even in heroics.

pretty much just put your enhancement points into kensei with enough for strong/tenacious defense into stalwart and take healers friend early in wf. there are plenty of good builds in the fighter subforum you could adapt easily enough.

WF still rock, not "trendy" atm , but good and solid. You have gs kit ? , thats all to the good, and a pile of repair pots in your knapsack? Then get on with the slaughter, and show folks what a WF fighter can do!

What a Warforged Fighter can do? You mean eat up all of my heal scrolls?


To the OP: I concur with Dwarfforged: use Kensei as your primary tree, go high enough in Stalwart to get Strong and/or Tenacious Defense, and get Healer's Friend from the Warforged tree ASAP if you are questing in groups (especially reaper). Also, a Healing AMPlification item is a good supplement for Healer's Friend.
