Playing warrior in WoW gives a player many enjoyable angles. There are quite a few world of warcraft warrior guides that delve far too deeply on the warrior proficency in PvP or lack of and focus too much on jargon without giving a good overall view of what it is like to really play this class. This is a class that is good to play solo and in group and fun too. Here we shall explore why.

There is no doubt that warriors are gear dependant. This is the facet that makes them most unique and great to play in that they have all gear available for them to wear or use as weapons except magical items like wands and relics. And apart from Paladins they are the only class that can wear plate on reaching level 40 which adds to their look and already awesome power.

The power they possess for taking and giving damage is such that warriors are also known as tanks when playing in groups. This is also a term spawned by the fact that while in group combat the warrior is the chief taker and giver of major damage and as such probably the most essential member to have on board to ensure success. Very rarely, if at all, there will be any instance run or raid where there in no tank and the warrior is the best tank in the business. One or two other classes can assume this role but they are not, shall we say, born to do it as well.

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 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.

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.
