What is good about playing a warrior in world of warcraft? There are a fair few world of warcraft guides around, but all of them seem to be focuses on PvP and the info there seems to be a bit too terse and technical. Instead what we shall concentrate on is what it is to be playing a warrior either in a group or alone, without all that jargon.
You will always be warned against playing a warrior in WoW because are so gear dependent. This is actually great news because the warrior’s range of gear is far superior to any other class. The only weapons they can’t use are wands and relics, and they are the only class, apart from Paladins, that can plate up once hitting level 45 . Wearing plate not only makes your character look fantastic but it adds to their awesome armor and power.
Their major role in group is as a tank. This is a term used to describe their capacity of dealing and taking a lot of damage much the same as a real tank in batte can do. They are the main artillery of the group defending other members as they too give out damage without aggro which the warriors absorbs so that the group can more easily dispense of their foes.
Like all other classes a warrior has talents and abilities divided up in three major trees which at end game can become their specialist areas:
Arms warriors choose this ability to have a large range of abilities in offensive and utility talents. Two handed weapons are best suited to this tree spec which are exponentially increased with warrior spells like “Mortal Strike” which further increase combat damage.
Fury Warrior - Is the preferred choice for those who want to power level quicky. They too will be leaning in two handed weapons specialization with talents like “Flurry” inflicting strikes that can turn a fight with one single blow. If you played Rogue, becoming a Fury warrior will give you similar stats and weapon damage with the added bonus of being able to plate thus giving you additional armor.
Protection Warriors: for tank spec this is the class to be. More defensively minded, using shields and sword mastery to fend off off enemies and absorb and deflect damage. This makes them last longer in combat than the other two tree specializations and required if want to play your warrior as a tank.
As you go through the game you will be able to sample each of these trees abilities to see what suits you best and decide where the fate of your warrior lies when it reaches level 70. Whatever style you choose you will find playing a warrior the most exciting and rewarding class in the game whether you play in a group or alone.
