[thefinition]

Hey guys, I was just curious if there is any reason to play melee warrior on AB - either mercenary, paladin or a temple guard?
Every single mage and dexterity character seem so much stronger than strength warrior on paper - also isn't the melee combat pretty boring and hard with all the blocking etc? How is melee character doing on bosses like Hosh'Kar or Azgalor? So many questions, yet no answers for them Please help, I don't want to waste my time and suddenly it appears my warrior is just useless compared to what I could've gotten if I chose Water Mages as my guild

RUS:
Эй, ребята, мне было просто любопытно, есть ли какие-либо причины для игры воину в ближнем бою на АБ - наемнике, паладине или храмовой страже?
Каждый персонаж и умение ловкости кажутся намного сильнее, чем сила воина на бумаге - также не битва ближнего боя довольно скучная и жесткая со всеми блокировками и т. Д.? Как рукопашный бой действует на таких боссов, как Хош'Кар или Азгалор? Так много вопросов, но ответов на них нет. Пожалуйста, помогите, я не хочу тратить свое время, и вдруг кажется, что мой воин просто бесполезен по сравнению с тем, что я мог получить, если бы выбрал Water Mages в качестве моей гильдии.

Two-Handed Strenght Warrior with Halberd is not bad, beause halberds have more convenient animation than swords, axes and hammers.
With halberd you can step back after hit like dextery character with spear.

Two-Handed with other weapons and One-Handed more harder it seems to me, but still the game is passable by any class.
It's just a matter of habit

Sorry for my ugly English

I like 60 lvl 2h and 1h moveset much more then all archer's movesets and playstyle. Mages, yes. They looks viable because of AoE runes but not every mage has decent AoE damage. Otherwise I consider mage is a glass cannon. So it is up to you.

Strength hero has much more hp because of his armor set (e.g., my SnC paladin has 6k hp at Irdorath). It helps you to kill mages like Hosh-Kar or Dementor without getting critical damage (you can always heal yourself and continue a battle). Dragons are easy to kill targets too because of good balance (I'm not sure how is it named in your game). Just use black ore jewelry or swamp golem's heart and you will be immune to knock downs. But you need to check your hp level any time they attack you and heal if it lower than a half (who knows what can happens).

I would play Slash'n'Craft mode with strength hero just not to learn hp, strength and weapon by myself. But it is harder while you don't have 30 level of your weapon.

I can't agree with @Azh1452. Hate halberds' moveset. 60 lvl 2h moveset only

The only disadvantage for the late game is that the warrior has no mass AOE of that kind that the mages do. So you'll have to face every enemy to clean the area. As for me it's ok except for the final battle with the orks when you have to kill as many of them as you can to save you team. Luckily you may skip that battle with no further consequences.
