    My human Warrior is level 70.  He hails from Qeynos.   I chose a human over other races only because they are uncommon.  Ogres and Barbarians seem to be the norm for this class but I wanted something different.  In the long run the race you choose is not as important as the stats you have after you gear up.  How you distribute your initial stat points and the gear you get later in life will be what makes you equal to other classes.
     Warrior are the epitimy of tanks in Everquest.  They have the highest hit points and highest AC of any of the tank classes with similar gear.  Warriors have a specific job.  Their job isn't determined by how much damage they do but how much damage they can withstand.  There are no spells to cast, just keep agro and be a meat shield for the others in your group or raid.  Picking your weapons is important in keeping agro.  In most cases it isn't the damage you do but the proc on the weapon tha draws agro from that overzealous caster.  As warriors level up, they get disciplines that help in their ability to tank the big boys.   The most popular is the defensive disc.  It reduces the damage you take from the mob you are being attacked by.
