Notes About Business

Ever wonderered what is good about playing a warrior in wow? There are plenty of world of warcraft warrior guides posted in forums where you are given tips mainly for PvP team play. Unless you have played warrior for some time these tips might be a bit to technical to understand. So here we shall have a more simple overview of what it’s like to play warrior either for solo play or group play. For this is a class which is the perfect choice for either mode of play.

Warriors are gear dependant, you will always be told this and it’s true. But this is really what makes the warrior great to play. More than any other class the warrior can practically use most of the items available in WoW except magical items like wands and relics. Once at level 45 they are the only class beside the Paladins who can wear plate which adds to their already awsome power and makes them look really fantastic.

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.

A warrior as in all classes in WoW has three main trees from which they can later on specialize as follows:

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 Warriors: also known as the Rogues with plate as they share similar stats and weapon damage. They too fight with two handed weapons and use talents where one blow can literally turn and win them the fight. For fast warrior power levelling in WoW, this is the tree specialization you need to be on.

Protection Warrior – Very good warrior specialization for both offensive and defensive combat, often useful in group/raiding/instance runs. This is because these warriors are much more likely to last longer in combat as they rely on shields and sword mastery specifically. This is often the choice of warrior if you want to specialize as a Tank.

Each of these three tree talent are triggered by the stance the warrior uses: Protection, Beserker and Battle stance. Hence before reaching the more exciting end game you can sample each spec to see which one suits you best as you quest and grind.
