For as long as war has raged, heroes from every race have aimed to master the art of battle. Warriors combine strength, leadership, and a vast knowledge of arms and armor to wreak havoc in glorious combat. Some protect from the front lines with shields, locking down enemies while allies support the warrior from behind with spell and bow. Others forgo the shield and unleash their rage at the closest threat with a variety of deadly weapons.

The warrior’s battle cries embolden friends and leave foes cowering in fear. With legendary precision, warriors target the smallest gaps in armor and slice at hamstrings in a blur of steel.

Every dragon slain, corrupted tyrant toppled, and demon banished from Azeroth has trembled in the face of these lords of war.

Warrior Information

Warriors equip themselves carefully for combat and engage their enemies head-on, letting attacks glance off their heavy armor. They use diverse combat tactics and a wide variety of weapon types to protect their more vulnerable allies. Warriors must carefully master their rage – the power behind their strongest attacks – in order to maximize their effectiveness in combat.

  • Type Tank, Melee Damage Dealer
  • Standard Bars Health, Rage
  • Available Armor Cloth, Leather, Mail, Plate, Shields
  • Available Weapons Bows, Crossbows, Daggers, Fist Weapons, Guns, One-Handed Axes, One-Handed Maces, One-Handed Swords, Polearms, Staves, Two-Handed Axes, Two-Handed Maces, Two-Handed Swords
Warrior Talents

Warrior talents can improve their already considerable defenses with a shield, increase their deadliness with two-handed weapons, or bolster their savagery while dual-wielding.

Warrior Talent Specialization
Warrior Features
Defense

Mighty warriors depend on their heavy armor, shields, and battle prowess to defend themselves and ensure enemies don’t focus on their softer-skinned allies.

Melee damage

Weapon mastery is a staple of warrior training, and they are capable of delivering high damage with enormous two-handed weapons or by wielding two weapons.

Rage

As warriors deal or take damage, their rage grows, allowing them to deliver truly crushing attacks in the heat of battle.

Stances

By changing their stance during battle, warriors can adjust their focus in combat, dealing greater damage, defending more carefully against enemy attacks, or striking a balance between the two.

also i love fury, just holding 2 2-handed weapons in each hand has its advantages, that's the only reason fury hit so slow

i think warriors are to epic for small races i think its coolest to be a dreanei warrior, worgen warrior, orc or tauren. any other race is just weird expecially gnome and goblin warriors. :/

@Marzoria: Well, I don't disagree that they 'sux balls' in Arena, but an Arms Warrior is great for rated battlegrounds, while a protection Warrior is the best choice for a tank/FC. They may need a small buff in Arena, but I think they work good in battlegrounds.

@Tharagorh: dude ur right on almost everything u said, about arena about rbgs, but hey, only protection warrior is welcomed in rbgs remember? in this version of wow protection warrior is a huge chunk of annoying meat for the opposition in rbgs, and while arms the only spec useable in arena is so poor, in conclusion if u as a warrior want to play pvp and compete at a balanced welcomeable fashion, you have to play like a piece of annoying meat which = protection warrior in rbg. WELL DONE BLIZZ, TRY NERF US AND BUFF OTHER CLASSES SOME MORE.

@Meldore: Up to you, when you want to tank choose a tauren and go into Protection, when you want to play as a DPS, choose an Orc and go into Fury. When you want to PVP go into Arms ^^
