Everytime i see a warrior anywhere say something about the class problems in sod i immediatly see people trash on the warrior players. For example people call them “warrior crybabies” and say theyll be OP at 60…i just dont understand it, even the genuine probelms get disregarded by players. So i mostly wanna know why people think this way of warriors.

Probably because they are insane in true vanilla, so no one wants to see that again.
Also, why would you pick a warrior in a fantasy game?

Were they really that crazy to make people hate em so much? And to picking the class…for me warrior just plays cool, somethin about charging and smackin stuff with a big ol weapon is just different.

All warriors really just want to be healer priests deep down. They are just too proud to say it.

Why wouldnt you pick one? What is anti-fantasy about a Warrior?

Original vanilla (and by extension vanilla classic) warriors were incredibly overtuned, to the point that they were the best (the only) tanks as well as the best dps by a mile. Raids would often stack 20+ warrior dps, plus a handful of classes to fill out niche roles like tranq shot.
As a result, despite being the blandest of classes, they were everywhere, rolling on every bit of gear and demanding to be prioritised for every bit of physical dps drops. Fury prot tanks would end up rolling on tank gear, dps gear (for threat) and healing gear (diamond flask set)

Just like in P1 SoD, you guys completely ignore that rogues do more DPS on average than Warriors, and are way more useful outside a raid setting than Warriors.
People set logs to 100th percentile and look at that number only, I swear lol

I could have swore warriors in average were doing more damage than rogues that whole phase bar maybe the start of it.
Check again. The 100th percentile is the only metric where Warriors were/are ahead.
Edit: has since shifted to 75% and above Warriors lead
Because 5 years ago one stole their leather pants and out dpsed them and took their gf, therefore they cant have anything.
(except 30 boring uninspired runes that give % damage modifiers that are going to scale too hard at 60 and create the same problem)

Because a certain baldo has inspired many warriors to be like him and ninja loot/master loot everything to them, be rude to players and kill defenseless loners while questing.

The Roach King is the literal Warrior God. He deserves to have all raid drops master looted to him, that way he can get fully geared so he can quit a week later.

Aragorn was a ranger
Gimli was the party’s warrior

Aragorn has a small hunting bow and a Ranger’s sword, eventually being Andúril which is referred to as a great sword in the books. Aragorn is a two handed sword warrior.
They do scale better than any class in the game and it’s not close. With that said they should still be fun to play. Once heated they were not bad in p2. They will take over in p3 here soon once bugs are fixed and they get geared.
Idk, two handed sword, bows, called a ranger, he sounds more like a Hunter to me.
