Has anyone crunched what you miss out on by starting a warrior in either continent?

In theory the Proph warrior will have more skills from Pre-sear and Ascalon area. However, the Factions warrior will have more skill points (more gold too - but likely spent very fast) and will level faster.

Just wondering if anyone's crunched the numbers and can tell if one or the other is better or worse off.

Thanks!

Well i find that taking the presearing/ascalon way is much easier, but the cantha way allows you to level much faster because of the high reward levels you get.
Also i made alot more money going through cantha in a short period of time with not really getting any "great" drops as well.
Also, you have access to a storage right away in cantha, while in pre searing you aren't

Prophecies < Factions...

Just look at the armors

100 armor at 13str... wtf?! TO BOTH ELE AND PHYS. DAMAGE?!

Dreadnought, 90 + 10 vs. physical, THAT'S 90 VS. NON-PHYSICAL!!! The highest in Tyria is 85 + 10

Berserker's add hp!!

AND THE ARMOR SETS CAN BE ANY MIX YOU WANT AND LOOK LIKE A SET! [no more weird looking chimera armor for me!]

Collector's Exe. Helm of sup. axe mastery
Dreadnought's Canthan Cuirass of sup. absorption
Berserker's Canthan Leggings of Sup. Vigor
Knight's Canthan Boots of Min. Str.
Stoneskin Canthan Gauntlets of Tactics
Canthan Targe [YAY A SHIELD THAT MATCHES MY ARMOR!!]
Chaos axe [hopefully]

I love that part about factions, any armor set you want with the fx you want... sweeeet

and better bonuses than no stupid tyrian armor...
