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.

I've got 2 things 2 say: 1: what race is best for warr and 2: why does everyone like fury that much?! I'm arms now and i do more dps. make more rage and die less often. There is a chance that I just pwn with arms, and that im noob with fury. Onlything i miss from fury is the fast auto att, but arms make that1 good with serval DoT's. Can somebody reply on both, who has been a arms AND fury warr and know much about it?

@Illusiion: Well, for starters, you have way too much expertise(25 is enough), you have 9 unenchanted items, you have 2 unused chimera eyes, your talents arent optimal and you haven't reforged anything either, with ur gear you should be doing 30k tbh.

@Illusiion: try the basics, expertise should be 26. Reforge all items without crit to crit and when crit is there to hit.
crit->hit->mastery->haste is the way to go. Enchant you gear. 30k would be a bit off, but you should be able to do 24-25k in cata raids.
