THW Warrior - Next Steps?

[LivderaDeralleur]

I'm about to reach full plate on my Warrior, which is going to free up some TPs each level that I'm not quite sure where to direct.

Some possibilities I was considering:
- Ambush training to be able to reliably Open Aim. I've no idea how many ranks would be ideal. Normally I just Berserk and smash things, though it'd be nice to have the 'Aim Head' option available.
- Magic Item Use ranks. Not sure how much I would require to use his EG heart reliably. That's the only thing I can think of that he'd use this for.
- Increase PF training from 2x to 3x. More stamina is always good for a Berserking GOS Warrior, though he's pretty solid right now.

Should I focus on one of the above points first or perhaps something else?

Here is my current training - as you can see, I'll be hitting 140 ranks in Armor Use once I level to 45. I plan on dropping Armor Use training altogether until it reaches 2x.

About 25ish ranks of ambush should be good. As GoS, I had my warrior get harness up to 1x and PF to 3x.

I've got 42 ranks of MIU and use my heart just fine when I remember too. For items like that I think getting yourself to a reasonable duration is the biggest part. If you want to use that heart a lot I suggest 1x MIU. You probably don't need 1x HP, 50 ranks or so is usually plenty. And 3x PF is always a good goal for warriors, especially those in sunfist. I also like the quick easy goal of 40 ranks of shield use, this lets you pick up 4 ranks of shield charge and shield bash making you rather impervious to them.

I think 25-50 in MIU/AS is a reasonable goal coupled with 24 ambush. Add 5 ranks as you go. CM is a big aim controllable in the open so ambush augments that. For ether/hearts and scrolls or magic items it's good for both duration and usability. 25 puts you at ease of use for raise and some decent duration on low use items.

101 is a nice post cap goal of course, but I think I'm around 60/40 in ranks on those because of other needs.

At 44 I figure modest usability is the goal on top of 24 ambush.

Not sure if you even need ambush training if you aren't hiding. I'm recently back to the game after a decade away but was always under the impression that CM equaled ambush training in open ambush targeting. If you're already doubling in CM then will ambush training even make a difference? I'm not sure but for now assuming no. At level 56 with zero ranks in ambush and can hit targeted areas from open ambush.

It makes a difference based on testing results. More ranks are beneficial at lower levels/less CM training and less as you go up. It isn't a vital thing though, and you shouldn't train in it over other, more important stuff.

Cool. thanks for the info.

Get MoC to 55 ASAP, a break point that will get you to 3x focused Mstrike and 60 is 5x unfocused btw.
