I disagree. Levels are very important for warriors. The one thing that makes one-handers so incredibly nice is that they get more crits without having to sacrifice a lot of damage. This is also what makes monks very good bashers, even though their damage sucks. I got a world-shattering shofa hit on a linked astral mob yesterday and it didn't kill it

But remember, warrior bashing has very little to do with levels and more to do with which skills you've transed and what equipment you have, and to some extent what race you are. Levels really only have to do with how tanky you are, but you can still get away with high level bashing at lower levels if you're trans forging and Moon/Night, for example. There is also a big difference between Inept and Trans knighthood bashing, and better weapons make it faster, and secondary/tertiary skills can also help (by giving increased stats or weapon stats). Also, try bashing Newton as an unspec'd faeling (Hint: it's terrible).

Moondancers, Nihilists, Celestines, Shadowdancers, Geomancers, Hartstones, Blacktalons and Aquamancers can all kill the creatures on the top of the mountain with a single attack. I'm not sure about bards...

Bards can also one-hit larger finks. You underestimate the power of MinorSecond!

Celestines/Nihilists/Moondancers/Shadowdancers make horrible choices for someone who doesn't want to buy credits. They require extremely high amount of lessons to work well.
