WoW Warrior Guide Overview
The Warrior class make for a superb melee class with their ability to inflict damage on your opponents in close range attacks. In my opinion the Warrior class are one of the best if not the best class for Tanking. With their ability to inflict heavy damage Warriors also make for great builds for both PvE and PvP scenarios.
The Warrior truly is the master of weaponry and melee fighting with their ability to equip any Melee weapons as well as Dual Wield. Their well padded as well with the ability to wear cloth, leather, mail, plate and equip their-selves with shields.
A Warriors special abilities will be used with the aide of Rage which regenerates when the Warrior both takes damage and deals out some damage.
Warriors are quite unique in their role in that they can take different stances. These stances are broken down into three categories and all serve different purposes for different scenarios.
It's worth noting that certain abilities can only be used when the Warrior is in a certain stance.
As well as deal out some serious damage, the Warrior class are strong and can take a beating too! This makes them a good class for leveling purposes as they can give and take damage well. When using Warriors for leveling purposes you should always carry a shield with you so you can tank almost instantly when the chance presents itself.
I personally found with my Warrior build that after about level 70+ the Protection build was best for tanking instances though. Personal preference really. Warriors have always been fast levelers though because they can pretty much wipe out mobs in a flash and then move onto the next lot. The Warriors plate armor makes them great for battles too and a heap of fun to play.
WoW Warrior Guide - Talent Trees
The Arms tree was considered one of the weakest builds for the Warrior by many warrior class enthusiasts until the Cataclysm expansion. Again it boils down to personal preference but the general consensus was that the Fury talent tree offered better talents which made the Fury tree slightly better than the Arms tree for both PvE and PvE scenarios.
The Arms tree was appealing as the Mortal Strikes debuff left on a character that reduced healing done on the target by 50%. However the Fury Warriors have a similar talent in the Fury talent tree called Furious Attacks which grants the character the same debuff which will reduce healing done on targets by 50%.
The Fury build also offers the ability to Dual Wield 2 two-handed weapons, this remains the only class capable of doing this!
Not only does wielding 2 two handed weapons look awesome, but it will also give a nice little boost to the Warriors damage output. Then there is Heroic Fury, another PvP talent that removes immobilizing effects and removes the cooldown from your intercept.
Finally the Protection talent tree is best suited for tank warriors. There are a lot of abilities to acquired in the Protection tree that will reduce the damage taken by the Warrior. The Protection tree is also good for increasing the Warriors threat which is also good for tanking and for leveling a Warrior in some instances.
There are some pretty nifty spells to be gained from the Protection tree as well such as; Spell Reflection, Shield Slam, Shock Wave and Last Stand which are all great abilities. All in all the Protection tree is definitely suited for the Tank Warrior.
