Some help for a noob

[Tal]

That being said, a Rogue is the better melee combat soloist even with lower armor because it can dispatch (and stun) enemies so fast that healing in combat (and downtime through eating) just isn't an issue most of the time. So, you may want to give a Rogue at least a try. The lack of healing was the premier reason why I've eventually given up my level 60 Undead Warrior who is a herb/ore farmer now. He does that job well, though ;)

My warrior didn't seem to have the frustrations that you've experienced with your warrior. In fact I find I survived things that would drop rogues.
