    Im level 27 using a rusty bastard sword and a fine steel dagger but my dps is real low. How do i fix this? I find that the Paladin and the ShadowKnight have more spells to use than me. Can somebody higher up confirm this?

    At that level there isn't much you can do to up your DPS without obtaining better weapons and some form of haste.

    A warrior's primary purpose is to hold agro and take damage, not do massive amounts of DPS. At higher levels (75+) you will be able to do much more damage by getting the weapon specialization and flurry AA's. If you have never checked out thesteelwarrior.org, you need to. This is from their AA guide, but of course, you should be getting your defensive AA's first since your primary purpose is to stay alive and take damage so the DPS classes can take down the mob.

    That was the trick, you were tricked into creating a Warrior instead of one of the Knight classes.

    If you are worried about your DPS, you have picked the wrong class. It will get better with AAs, but never to the point where you (or anyone else) would be even remotely impressed. Increasing survivability should outweigh this concern.
