When last I left you all I was 30 WAR and mentioned that I got WAR to about 40 now. Now I will attempt to weave the story about how I got to this level. I jumped from the Jungles right to the Citadel thanks to some brave Party leaders. This was before I sought advice from Froh so I was still single Axe with a shield tanking. This was also far from a decent Axe that didn't cost me 200K-ish. Yea, noob WAR, look out. The important thing to me at the time as the fact that I had Kamphf gear. My legs and Feet but it was better than Eisen all around. I'll explain how a noob afforded Kamphf gear like this: I owe another LS member another favor, this time a little mischievous Tarutaru. Bad idea on my part, I'll probably end up dying a couple of times helping her.
Oh well I'm shiny now. Everything is going great. For a really long time. I hit 31 and then 32. I run back to town to get a Warrior's Axe. Along the way I find that I can take out a Raptor all by myself :D Being a WHM so long I hardly knew the feeling of standing my ground and fighting something. And winning! :D
32-36
Blah. I tank like a pro. The black mage could mana burst, the mob would turn around, I'd just have to boost and I'd have the mobs attention again. Like a Pro. I even had a hate fight with a Ninja but we were 35-ish so it's not a fair evaluation of Ninja Vs. Warrior but still: HE CHEATED! Elemental wheel >.> and he knew I couldn't let him die so he for went shadows. HE CHEATED. enough said.

Here comes the honorable mention of the post: Doc again helped me. He loaned to me a weapon of ridiculous power. The Horror Voulge:
DMG: 60 Delay: 489
VIT+1 Attack +8
I didn't need to provoke anymore. I just had to hit the damn thing and it would keep it's eye on me. Even with Defender, I just have to put one provoke and Boost and keep whacking. Ninja sub be damned!
After all that I took a break and farmed with my new Toy(THANK YOU DOC!) that was the funnest thing I've done in a long time. After the fund were gathered I planned to level blm to sub level at least.

Ooooh Horror Voulge! Gimme!
Wise choice on the gear change. Warrior's don't evade for crap, and the shield almost never procs decently.
You're best off finding a nice balance between hefty damage (to keep the mobs attention) and some def/vit (to keep your hate from bleeding away). Good call on subbing /MNK for tanking. It enables you to take some hits and, as you said, use Boost as a cumulative hate tool.
I wouldn't recommend Defender unless you're really getting pummeled, since it can reduce your hate generation (if that's what you're going after).
Congratulations on a job well done ^_^ Glad you're enjoying Warrior.
It seems we've swapped jobs, eh?
You know whats strange about that weapon? It has amazing stats but they sell it pretty cheap. Think I got mine for less than 10k
