Warriors - Weapon Masters

By Jurinsthea Smith


Warriors are one of the great melee classes. Being capable of a Tank, they are regarded as the best tanking class yet. However, they can do great damage in case of PvP and PvE. They are the masters of the melee fight and capable of equipping all the melee weapons and Dual Wield. Besides this, they can wear Shields and Plate armor. It is the Rage, which is gained using the special abilities and talents of the Warriors by taking and dealing damage.

The Stances are the options for the Warriors to choose from. As Defensive Stance reduces the damage by 10%, it is used in tanking. Nevertheless, there is a threat of an increase by 10% and the reduction of damage done by 10% to the Warriors. This is followed by the basic Battle Stance that does not provide any reduction or boost. Finally, the Berserker Stance gives rise to the critical strike rating of the Warrior by 3%, but there is an increase in the damage by 10% to the Warriors. When the Warrior is in a specific stance, some abilities can be used.

The strong Warriors take a few punches, which makes their leveling easy as they have good damage output. Nevertheless, carrying a shield during leveling is always better as you can have a chance of taking an instance. The levels 70-80 are decisive when you require a Protection build in order to tank the instances somehow. It is my humble opinion that Warriors are the fast levelers since you can Charge into the next one by killing the mobs quite fast. You will not lose much health considering the plate armor irrespective of a few of your abilities. This can restore hitpoints although some bandages can be used, which will not take your much time for sure.

All the races, except the Blood Elves, have Warriors in their ranks.

The Warriors have the Protection talent tree if they want to become good tanks. In this talent tree there are a lot of abilities that reduce the damage done to the Warrior. You will also improve your threat done with this talent tree and will gain some new nice abilities like Spell Reflection, Shield Slam, Shock Wave and Last Stand. A Warrior can be a great tank, in my opinion, Blizzard designed Warriors to be tanks and they are the best at it.

According to many Warriors, as WoTLK, Arms tree is the weakest talent tree. The reason is that the Fury talent tree has had some great talents that make it better to stay in PvE and PvP. The debuff of the Mortal Strike which is left on the character, reduces healing done by 50%, which is good considering the Arms tree. However, when it comes to the Furious Attacks talent tree, the Fury Warriors have the same things and same debuff of 50% healing that reduces on the target. With this tree, you will be capable of using Dual Wield two two-handed weapons just like class in WoW. It not only looks great but also boosts the damage by putting the Arms build more in the shadows. Finally, the Heroic Fury is another PvP talent that removes the cooldown from your intercept with immobilizing effects.
