The general definition of a warrior in games: has a certain amount of attack (here uniformly called DPS), quite some defense (don't know how to read it in English), and also a very considerable amount of blood (HP).
However, warriors here are absolutely not like this. I'll now talk about my tearful experiences. The reason I play warriors is because I really can't find any other class in this game that's more stimulating than playing a warrior for earning LOTRO Gold.
Warriors here have stable attacks, but they're not good at tanking monsters, which causes me to be cursed at by N people in N ways using N languages with N kinds of dissatisfaction. But there's nothing I can do since it was my own mistake. On average, a warrior soloing will die around 15~20 times per day, calculated at 20 hours/day (conservative estimate). Dealing with two monsters of the same level is still manageable, but when facing three monsters that are 1~2 levels lower than you, don't even consider tanking them. I suggest running away. When doing group quests, never try to pull monsters. The consequence is extremely unpleasant. The result is only one: being scolded by N people from N races with N professions. I've made this mistake many times. Warriors aren't as good at tanking as hunters or rogues. Please listen to my advice and don't be impulsive. Just be a peaceful fighter, and that's fine.
My experience in leveling up is that when you're alone, basically you just do monster-killing quests, killing monsters while doing quests. When in a group, complete quests that you couldn't solo. In terms of leveling up in this game, doing quests is faster than grinding monsters, but it doesn't mean that you should only do quests and not kill monsters. Killing monsters still takes up a large proportion in this game. Even if you reach level 50, you still need to come back and grind monsters because there's this concept of traits in the game, which you obtain by killing different types of monsters, and the number of monsters you need to kill is quite large. It's unscientific to wait until you reach the maximum level before coming back to kill monsters. When there are no solo quests available and you can't find a group, I feel that the best method is to find a trait you need, and grind specific monsters to level up. There are three advantages to killing monsters.
One: You can quickly widen the level gap with most players, which is very beneficial for completing monster-killing quests. Since this game has a large map and few monsters, if you level too slowly, the entire area will be crowded with people. Completing a quest to kill 20 monsters can be deadly, and you can only complete it in a group. However, grouping means you'll be poor, with little Lord Of The Rings Gold.
Two: Killing monsters will give you a lot of cheap Lord Of The Rings Gold. By the time you reach level 35, you won't worry about not being able to afford a horse. Money is always the most advantageous support in any game. Being poor is very scary, so you need to kill monsters. Moreover, killing monsters will yield a lot of crafting materials. If you can use them, that's great; if not, you can auction them off later and earn a substantial amount of buy LOTRO Gold.
Three: Killing monsters will make your traits much higher than others'. Traits in this game are very powerful. Since you have to kill monsters anyway, it's better to start early rather than late.
