But thanks. I guess my bias towards the warrior class is the only class I've ever been completely trampled by is a warrior. I duel one all the time who can take me from 100 to 0 almost instantly. I've lost many a duel where he was at 10% and I'm at 100%, I ***** up, he gets within melee range and completely obliterates me before I can get him past 5%.
i recommend abusing evasion and any control ability as much as possible. evade asap. not at 50%. not at 10%. evade at 100%, when he has no rage. even with all the damage you feed him, he still wont have much rage.
not a guaranteed win, but it should help you a bit. especially if you mix in a bit of DoT kiting (save it for when hes near death). and dont worry, second wind on gouge is getting "fixed" come TBC.

Once you hit 60 most of your troubles are over in my opinion. Of course a lot of that depends on gear (and skill) but it will get a lot better for you in later levels.
no. im gonna disagree with you there.
when a warrior hits 60, he stops. his progression is gear. this is true of all classes.
a warrior in greens using a rank 14 weapon still hits like a warrior in greens. without the AP to back it up, no MS is going to reach the numbers that are often so bandied about. lets not even go into armor, crit rates, or stamina. ive 4-shot level 60 wars with GM weapons. the guys still wearing wyrmslayer spaulders (mid 40's plate boe shoulders) and looking like a mishmash of green/blue stuff with some boe valor thrown in. and im using zinrokh (a sword with 50+ LESS damage than the rank 14 weapons). how do i do it? well, they have **** for armor/hp, and ive got 1k AP unbuffed, not to mention nearly 5500 hp and 22% crit in battle.
so no, warriors dont magically become awesome when they hit 60. no class does. that rock/paper/scissors quote is so outdated i dont know why anyone still uses it. after a great deal of work and dedication, and assuming an awesome support line, warriors become awesome. but its not like dinging 60 instantly turns warrior from zero to hero.
