> Battle warriors, in general, has a much harder time getting and keeping gear than anyone else. This wasn't really my reasoning... warriors in general, unless you play a exclusively-gangbanging Imperial or bar-sitting Trouper, have a tough time keeping gear in general. As far as getting gear goes, unless the mob breathes, a hero Rager is in good shape for the most part. My "re-equip" run as Dhaevor basically entailed killing Lunn, the barrow-wight, and every big Mortorn mob on the lower levels, except Graazur and the dying demon, and it was quite doable solo, starting out in a naked state. No way I could've done any of that as a near-naked non-Rager warrior. Of course, it's a given that invoker/muter/healer support allow others to tackle things Ragers can't even come close to touching. For example, I once had the clever idea of leading a large Rager party to try and kill Ertruza. Bad, bad, bad idea. As Peroleth, I just grabbed Ambros and it was basically a joke. > There are also items that Battle can't use. This is the reason.
