It's a difference play style from using ranged instead of melee

Which is advised, dodge or defense? Reply by True Poindexter: I have tried Spec > Merc as my alt (and there is someone on my server who has cheap altis gates gold done Warrior > Spec) and it works just fine. It's a difference play style from using ranged instead of melee but it's by no means bad.

Yes you can craft.

No you cannot craft intense/purple.

Yes you can GM all pts.

Yes you can have Tier 2/3 Melee skills.

No you cannot have class skills.

Since you base is warrior you will want to go defense, had your base been ranger I would say go dodge but either works really - they just involve different play styles.

Make sure to keep your pts high (defense and shield especially). Remember that as soon as everyone figures out that you are a debuffer they will go for you first, so have heavy melee armor, shield, and counter attack all at the ready.

If you really want to annoy them also get some defense chargers (+50% defense for 5 minutes). Your survivability like this is actually vastly better than a dodger as all those nasty little things that ruin dodge players (like Isis and 48 BMAU's) have a much harder time killing defense players.
