Define low hp....my 24 wood elf warrior has 805 hp unbuffed....have no idea if thats good or bad....seems to work pretty well in most zones, although Temp is always a good thing.

This is my main, btw. I didn't know it would be considered "different" lol

Ok, the ONLY effect race has on hitpoints, is on the starting stamina. Eventually, gear evens out that difference, and you end up with minor racial differences, like ogres being non stunnable, and dark elves being able to hide, trolls and iksars regenning, etc.

At your level, what is likely the difference between you and your froggy cleric friend, is gear. Either make a magelo profile, or fill out the character sheet here, so we have some idea what gear you have now, and we can help you figure out where to go next.

At level 70, with good gear, you'll have 355 stamina, and regardless of race, your HP will be the same, assuming the same gear.

In the meantime, focus on hitpoints, stamina and AC on your gear. Ignore strength. One of the BIGGEST mistakes many new warriors make, is to try to max strength. You are a tank, not a damage class. Strength is SO much less important than stamina, it isn't funny.

But its so fun to carry lots of stuff... :) The double edged sword with warriros is the old what is a tank question. Hit points and armor class mean that the enamy wont hit you as much and the cleric wont need to work as hard. Of course if this means you put your AA's and gear towards becomming invincible then your DPS is lower and you lose a little aggro. Sure special augs and no-drop weapons will make up for this but most of those weakling SK's, Pally's, Ranger's, Beast's, Rogue's, and Monk's who are whinin' that we cant hold aggro are also using the big dps and proc's that pull aggro and their bodies cant take the damage as well. Your inherent ability to anger oponents is slightly more important Strenght isnt though, DEX and a good proc weapon are though... every critical you score is more aggro for you so when you spend those AA's think of DPS and Crits. Amazingly a couple good buffs and the poorest equipped warrior outshines a ubbe requiped monk,ranger,rogue and sometimes even Sks and pally for HP.
