Greetings Warrior! 

I have gathered information from around the world. I have read many FAQs and guides from many websites and magazines, many with differing ideas, and then tried them out in-game to see what is right.

First you must know what a Warrior is. A Warrior is for the most part a tank. A tank in an Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) is the damage taker. You will attack the enemy and keep the enemy on you at all times. If you cannot keep the enemy on you, you have failed as a Warrior.

Starting out you will also be a good damage dealer but past level 20 or so other classes such as the Mage will pass you as the one doing most of the damage.

Your best friend as a Warrior will be the Priest. No other class can beat a Priest set up for full healing. Others can come close such as the Druid.

Starting out you can do fine with a Shaman or Paladin helping you with the hard stuff, but by level 45 to 50 they can no longer be the only healer in the group and you will need two of them or one of them and a Priest or Druid for a well balanced group.

As a Warrior you will have a variety of attack options and most likely will not be repeating the same thing over and over again. You can and will change the way you fight with each battle. You will also level faster than most other classes.

You have many things to offer a party such as a modest DOT (Damage Over Time), enemy damage debuff, and a melee buff of the group.

As a Warrior you are an active class that responds immediately to changes in a battle with Hamstring and Mocking Blow. You will also be changing your Stance with changes in the battle. There are three stances that changes the Warriors aspect, from Battle Stance that is balanced, Defensive Stance for protection, and Berserker Stance for more damage.

The more damage you do the more rage you gain. You will also gain a lesser amount of rage from the damage you take. Rage is used to do special attacks. When you are out of battle you will slowly loose the rage gained in battle.

Starting out you can and will be solo most of the time. Fight enemies two levels below your level. You will do more damage to them and therefore gain more rage for faster kills and less downtime. This is good advice for most classes also.

Here is the good and the bad of the Warrior class.

The Good 

1. Variety of attack options
2. Fast leveling
3. Can solo very well
4. Exciting play style
5. Can wear heavy plate armor (at level 40)
6. Can use all weapons except Wands

The Bad 

1. Must find or buy top-notch weapons and armor frequently
2. Not the greatest damage output. (Rogues, Warlocks, and Mages do more)
3. Difficult to get into groups as there are plenty of Warriors
4. Not much damage from ranged attacks (Warriors can use guns and bows)
5. Can only use potions and First Aid to heal unless your a Draenei.

So now you know what a Warrior is and what a Warrior does and the good and bad of the Warrior and you still want to be a Warrior but what race?

First you must choose a faction. There are two factions, Alliance and Horde. The Alliance are the “pretty” races and the Horde are the “ugly” races. On most servers the Horde are better at PvP but there are fewer of them and they are more rude. The Alliance on most servers are not very good at PvP but there are more of them and they are less rude.

Here is a list of what races can be Warriors and what makes them good or bad at being a Warrior to help you choose.

Alliance 

Draenei

Gift of the Naaru: 40yd Range, 1.5 second cast, 3 minute cool down, Heals target of 50 damage over 15 seconds, Scales with level. Very nice, like a healing potion you can use on anyone.

Heroic Presence: Increases chance to hit by 1% for you and all party members in 30 yards. A nice little boost.

Jewlcrafting: Increases Jewlcrafting skill by 5. A nice boost if you take up Jewlcrafting.

Shadow Resistance: Increases shadow resistance by 10. Great for all the evil guys you fight who mostly use shadow magic.

Human:

Perception: Activate to dramatically increase stealth detection - Lasts 20 sec - 3 min cool down is useful for PvP.

The Human Spirit gives +5% spirit and is useless for a Warrior.

Diplomacy: 10% bonus to faction point gain is somewhat useful for gaining faction reputation.

Sword and Mace Specialization: +5 to sword and mace weapon skill is good if you plan on using swords or maces but is not really that big (about 1% more damage).

Night Elf:

Shadowmeld: activate while immobile and out of combat to enter stealth mode - lasts until canceled - 10 sec cool down is good for PvP.

Quickness gives you a +1% chance to dodge and is ok.

Wisp Spirit: Become a wisp when dead with movement speed increase of 50% (25% faster than normal ghost) is nice so you can get to your body faster after you die.

Nature Resistance adds 10 to your Nature Resistance and is good.

Dwarf:

Stoneform: While active, grants immunity to Bleed, Poison, and Disease effects. In addition, Armor increases by 5% and speed reduced to 70% of normal. Lasts 20 sec. - 3 min cool down is ok.
+5 to gun skill fairly useless.

Frost Resistance: +10 Cold Resistance is nice.

Find Treasure: Activate to see treasure chests on mini map - lasts until canceled - no cool down. The Find Treasure skill is almost useless unless you have Engineering or Blacksmithing and their bombs and keys to open locked chests.

Gnome:

Escape Artist: Activate to break out of a Root or Snare effect - 1.5 sec cast - 1 min cool down is great for PvP.

Expansive Mind: Increase Intelligence by 5% is useless.

Arcane Resistance: +10 to arcane resistance is nice.

Engineering Specialization: +15 to Engineering skill can be useful if you go Engineering.

Horde 

Orc:

Blood Fury: Activate to increase base melee attack power by 25% for 15 sec but applies a healing effectiveness debuff for 45 sec after Bloody Fury wears off - lasts 15 sec - 2 min cool down is ok.

Hardiness: 25% resistance to stun and knockout effects is good.

Command: Pet melee damage increased by 5% is useless for a Warrior.

Axe Specialization is ok but does not really do a whole lot more damage (about 1% more damage).

Tauren:

War Stomp: Activate to stun up to 5 opponents within 8 yards - lasts 2 sec - 2 min cool down is the best racial talent and is great for a Warrior in PvE or PvP.

Endurance: Max Health increased by 5% is just what a Warrior needs.

Cultivation: 15 skill bonus to Herbalism is ok if you plan on making your own potions.

Nature Resistance: +10 to nature resistance is good.

Undead:

Will of the Forsaken: Activate to become immune to Fear, Sleep, and Charm effects. Can also be used while already afflicted by Fear or Sleep - lasts 5 sec - 2 min cool down is great for PvP and some PvE.

Cannibalize: Activate to regenerate 7% of total health every 2 sec. by consuming Humanoid or Undead corpses within 5 yd - lasts 10 sec - 2 min cool down is good for soloing.

Underwater Breathing: Underwater breath lasts 300% longer than normal can help sometimes.

Shadow Resistance: +10 to shadow resist is good.

Troll:

Berserking: Activate after being the victim of a critical strike to increase attack and casting speed by 25% but take 10% more damage in the process - lasts 20 sec - 2 min cool down can be good for lower level enemies where you don't take a lot of damage.

Regeneration: 10% health regeneration bonus, 10% active in combat is so-so.

Beast Slaying: 5% damage bonus to Beasts is so-so also.

Throwing Specialization: +5 to Throwing Weapon skill is the most useless of all racial talents.

Bow Specialization: +5 to Bow skill and is not really useful for a Warrior.

If you have know “What's the best race for a Warrior” Tauren would be it. Their War Stomp and +5% health really help out. If you go Alliance Dwarfs are setup nicely for a Warrior and Draenei with their healing spell is great for low level newbies new to the game.

Playing By The Numbers 

I have here a few formulas that are used to figure out many of a Warriors stats. I've checked on these to see if they work and so far these have. Others that I've tried have not worked and I am trying to get the correct formulas.

Attack Power: (Character level x 3) + (Strength x 2) - 20= Attack Power

Ranged Attack Power: Character level + Agility – 20=Ranged Attack Power

14 attack power equals 1 damage per second, before modifications. Items that provide raw Attack Power contribute this amount to Ranged Attack Power as well as melee. Buffs that provide raw Attack Power contribute nothing to Ranged Attack Power. +28AP from Death's Embrace Head & Leg ZG enchant does not count as RAP either.

Agility: 1 Agility = 1 Stamina = 2 Strength = .1% Crit. = .2% Dodge = .13% Parry = .13% To Hit = 2 Attack Power = 5 Daggers = 4 Any Resistance = 5 Health/5 Sec. = 50 Armor.

Stamina: 1 Stamina= 10 health. Note Taurens receive 10.5 health for each point of Stamina.

Strength: Increases damaged blocked with a shield. 1 Strength= 2 melee Attack Power.

Armor: 2 x Agility + Armor Items.

%Reduction= (armor/(armor + 400 + 85 x Enemy Level)) x 100.

To calculate the amount of armor needed for maximum mitigation use this formula. Armor= 1200 + 255 x Enemy Level.

Damage reduction is capped at 75%

Defense: 1 defense skill equals 0.04% to parry, dodge, and block.

Reduces the chance to be hit with a critical by 0.04% for each point of defense.

Each point of defense will decrease the chance of being hit by a crushing blow by 2%. Any creature 3 levels above the characters level can land a crushing blow. Minimum chance is 15%

After patch 2.0 items now give bonuses to Defense Rating instead of Defense. 1.5 Defense Rating= 1 Defense skill.

Block: Block%= 5% base chance + Block Rating + Talents + ((Defense Skill – Enemy weapon skill) x 0.04)

Block Rating from items gives you 1% for each 5 points of Block Rating at level 60. At level 70 you gain 1% for each 7.9 points of Block Rating.

shield block value + ((Strength/20) - 1)= Damage blocked.

If you have the Shield Mastery talent the formula becomes (shield block value x 1.3) + ((Strength/20) – 1).

Note that the amount of damaged blocked is calculated AFTER damaged mitigation for both armor and defensive stance (if your using defensive stance when hit).

Threat: 1 damage dealt= 1 threat, 1 rage gained= 5 threat, 1 health gained= 0.5 threat.

Dual Wield: +24% chance to miss. 50% less damage on off-hand weapon. Talents can increase that to 62.5% of the off-hand weapons damage.

Instant Melee Attacks: weapon damage range + attack power x a fixed number for weapon type.

Two-Hand weapon= 3.3
Daggers= 1.7

All others= 2.4 Normal weapon attacks are not affected only Whirlwind, Mortal Strike, and Overpower. It was changed to the fixed number from weapon speed as slower weapons did a lot more damage. Now they are more even.

Talent Builds

Ok now we get to the most asked question “What talents should I have?”. It all depends on what kind of Warrior you want to be. There are three main classes, Tank, Damage, and Hybrid.

Deflection 5/5
Iron Will 5/5 Anger Management 1/1

Protection

Tactical Mastery 5/5
Anticipation 5/5 Shield Specialization 5/5
Toughness 5/5
Last Stand 1/1 Improved Shield Block 1/1
Defiance 3/3
Improved Sunder Armor 3/3 Improved Disarm 3/3 Improved Taunt 2/2 Improved Shieldwall 2/2
Concussion Blow 1/1 Shield Mastery 3/3
One-handed Weapon Specialization 5/5
Shield Slam 1/1 Improved Defensive Stance 1/3 Shield Slam 1/1 Vitality 5/5 Devastate 1/1

Some might question having defiance instead of heroic strike but in the higher level instances the enemies have aggro wipe abilities and are immune to taunt. Anger management is very useful in longer fights where it's rage generation will allow another special ability or two to be used.

I will have to wait for The Burning Crusade to go live before I can add more talent builds. I will need time to see how they really work at level 70 but the tank build above is being used on the beta server and is working well

Cruelty give you more critical hits and Warriors really need more critical hits.

Tactical Mastery is needed as the best Warriors do not stay in just one stance but move from one stance to the next as the fight unfolds. Tactical Mastery will allow you to keep your rage up so you don't waste valuable time building it back up.

Deflection raises your parry chance by 5%. The less you get hit the better. Also a parry allows you to use Revenge, one of the best aggro holding abilities, so parrying more often allows you to use Revenge more often.

Weapon Trainers 

Here is a list of the weapon trainers and what weapons they can train you for.

Thunder Bluff (Lower Rise): Ansekhwa. One and Two Hand Maces, Staves, and Guns.

Undercity (War Quarter): Archibald. Crossbows, Daggers, One and Two Hand Swords, And Polearms.

Orgrimmar (Valley of Honor): Hanashi. Bows, One and Two Hand Axes, Staves, and Thrown.

Orgrimmar (Valley of Honor): Sayoc. Bows, Daggers, Fist, One and Two Hand Axes, and Thrown.

The Exodar (The Traders Tier, Third level of the platform): Handiir. Daggers.

Silvermoon City (Farstriders' Square): Lleda. Bows, Polearms, and Thrown.

All weapons can be trained at level 1 and training cost 10 silver but for Polearms. Polearms have to be trained at level 20 and cost 1 gold to train.

How To Play A Warrior 

Player Vs. Environment

Now that you know what kind of warrior your going to be, you now need to know the basics of how to play. I will first start off with Player Vs. Environment.

Solo

When going solo use a two-hand weapon so you can do the most damage you can. It takes longer with a one-hand weapon and shield and the extra armor of the shield does not offset the lower damage of the one-hand weapon.

In a group the Mage, Warlock, or Rogue will be your weapon and they will offset the lower damage of your one-hand weapon and you will offset their cloth or leather armor.

Fight enemies two levels lower than you. You will still gain good experience and should not need to stop for healing.

You will mostly use Battle or Berserker stance when soloing.

Try to start a fight with a charge. If you can't because it will aggro too many other enemies then use a thrown weapon to try to pull one or a few of them instead of the whole group. Why a thrown weapon you ask? Because a bow or gun requires you to give up a bag for an ammo pouch or quiver where as thrown weapons don't. Even though a gun, bow, or crossbow does more damage than thrown weapons it really does not offset the loss of a bag, more so when soloing.

Next use Rend. It works great on enemies who last long enough for the Rend to do it's magic. If the enemies are dropping like flies then Rend is not worth it. This should not be the case when fighting enemies two levels below you so Rend will be well used.

Next get in a Battle Shout if it's not up already. Make sure Battle Shout never goes down during a battle.

If you aggroed more than one enemy then you will need to use Demoralizing Shout before building rage. You may also need to use a Demoralizing Shout when fighting enemies of your same level and more so when they are of a higher level than you. When solo you have only potions to heal you so stopping damage is key to staying alive when fighting higher level enemies.

Bandages can be used during combat but if you get hit it will break the healing so they are not very good for a Warrior and more so when soloing during combat.

Now do a few normal swings until you have 50% or more rage.

Now use a Heroic Strike or Mortal Strike (if you have it). The enemy should be low on health now. If the enemy is a humanoid then they will normally run about now so Hamstring them when they have about 20% health.

Every fight will be different and this is just a basic guide to how a fight with an enemy two levels lower than you will go. Only time will give you the skill to know what to do in every fight.

Enemies who run are better handled by front loading damage. They will run sooner and do less damage to you because they are running away and not fighting you. Just remember to pull them away from other enemies and Hamstring them and they are doomed.

On the other hand enemies who use abilities when their health is low, mid to high level Ogers for example who have Enrage, are better handled by dumping all your damage at the end of the fight before their Enrage abilities can do much damage to you.

In group PvE the Warrior is “meat shield”. Your job is to fight the enemy and keep the enemy on you so that others like the Priest, Warlock, and Mage don't get killed. They only have “paper armor” of cloth and cannot take very many hits before they die.

When grouping with others you will want a well balanced group if possible. You will want a tank (that's you), a healer/rezzer (a Priest or Druid), a damage dealer (a Mage, Warlock, or Rogue), and the last needed is an off-tank (a Paladin, Shaman, or another Warrior). The last slot can be taken by any class but Hunters make for very good pullers if they have the skill.

As the main tank you will need a one-hand weapon and a shield. Don't forget food buffs as they supply extra Stamina. Cooking is not just for sissy Mages and Priests.

Keep extra rage at all times. I would never let it fall below 10%. You never know when a Priest, Mage or Warlock will do a critical and gain aggro. Use the extra rage to do a Mocking Blow, Taunt or Challenging Shout to get aggro back. You don't really have time for a swing or two to build the rage necessary to use an instant aggro skill. By the time you get a swing or two off to get the rage necessary the cloth wearing class will almost be dead or the Priest will have to have used up mana to keep them from dying.

Also you want the extra rage for the end of a fight if the enemy runs, you can then Hamstring them.

After loosing aggro and getting it back, use a high threat attack like Sunder Armor to keep the enemy on you.

But how does aggro work you say? As best as can be figured a monster will attack a target until another player does 10% more damage to it. So if a Mage does 100 damage then stops attacking the monster will stay on the Mage until someone else does a total of 110 damage to it.

Warriors get a boost to their threat in Defensive Stance of +30%. In Battle Stance and Berserker Stance, all threat from a Warrior is -20%. Defiance adds 5%-15% while in Defensive Stance depending on how many points you put into it.

From what people can tell threat does not decay. You can hit an enemy for 100 damage and it will stay on you until the server goes down, you run away, or someone does 10% more damage to it than you did.

For each point of damage done by a Warrior a healer must heal two points of health to gain aggro as best as can be figured.

If you can, try to always start a fight with a charge. If your not the puller then let the puller pull a target while you back away from the group a bit. When the enemy starts running for the puller wait until it is two or three feet from the puller then charge.

Try to keep the enemy at least 30 yards away from any other enemies. If they run and you can't stop them for some reason you want room enough to kill them before they reach help.

Do no special attacks until you build up at least 50% rage. If you have a good weapon that should not take long.

Rend is good if the fight will last a while and the enemy does not drop fast.

Demoralizing Shout would be the next thing to do as it will really help lower the amount of damage they do to you. The healer will thank you. Also if there are more than one enemy it will get aggro on all of them.

A Thunder Clap helps if you have two or more enemies on you after the Demoralizing Shout. Don't use Thunder Clap if a Mage has Polymorphed the second enemy.

Use defensive stance as much as possible to help keep your health and threat up.

If you see that your going to die then try to move to an area with no enemies so that you can be rezed in a safe area or can run back to your body and rez without aggroing.

If you are the second Warrior in the group and there are no Paladins or Shamans then you will be the off-tank. The off-tank will help the main tank when there is just one enemy. When there are two enemies the off-tank will fight the second enemy. This is where Sweeping Strikes is good, you can fight the second enemy while still helping the main tank.

At all times your main job as the off-tank is TO PROTECT THE HEALER! No matter what happens you are to stop any and all enemies from attacking the healer. If three enemies attack the party and two go for the tank and one goes for the healer, don't help the tank with the second enemy, go after the one that's attacking the healer.

As the off-tank you are third in line to be healed and are expendable. The first in line is the main tank, the second is the healer themselves then you (normally). Because of their healing abilities Paladins and Shamans make great off-tanks.

The higher level Warrior should be the main tank and the lower level Warrior should be the off-tank if there are two Warriors in a group.

When going solo use a two-hand weapon and when off-tanking.

Always carry a shield, one-hand weapon and a two-hand weapon that's within five levels of your level unless it's blue or purple then it can go a bit longer, because you never know when you will be the main tank or the off-tank.

Player Vs. Player

I don't do a lot of PvP so much of this is from reading other guides and asking questions of level 60 Warriors in-game. I have started to do some battlegrounds with my Warrior and have tried the things the guides and other Warriors have told me to see if it was valid advice. With the new Burning Crusade talents I will have to review this section when I get enough information on each class.

One On One

First I will start with one on one PvP and will list each class and what I have learned so far after fighting them in battlegrounds and in raids like The Crossroads.

Druid

Druids are a jack of all trades type character. Most of the time they will go into bear form and melee you until their health gets low then go into humanoid form, root you, back away and heal then go back into bear form.

When they come at you in bear form treat them like a Warrior. Sunder armor is good to use. When they go into humanoid form when their health is low wait until you see their hands turn green, than means they are about to cast a spell. Most will root but some try to heal right there, either one needs to be stopped with a Pummel, Shield Bash, or if your a Tauren you could save the Pummel or Shield Bash and do a Warstomp.

Next get a Mortal Strike in if you have it. It will reduce the amount they will heal by 50%.

If they do root you then use the Corporal Trinket if you got it or a free action potion. Try to use as few and as little rage as you can when they are in bear form then unload all you can when they are in humanoid form.

Humanoid form and spell interruption abilities are what will get them.

Hunter

Distance is your worse enemy. If the Hunter gets away from you and stays that way for very long your burnt toast.

First ignore the pet and do not hit it. The pet is there to keep you away from the Hunter.

Charge the Hunter and use Hamstring first and keep it on them at all times. Next use Intimidating Shout so that their pet runs away. A Rend next is good if the Hamstring is still up and the Hunter is still near you.

Next if they are still near you Disarm them.

When the pet comes back from the Intimidating Shout the Hunter will try to run again so use a Piercing Howl to stun both the pet and the Hunter.

Avoid the freezing traps the Hunter will drop. When they run look to the ground for them and do not run straight at them, Go forward and then use the A or D key to run slant ways left or right.

If they do get away and you have Intercept use it then Hamstring again. If you can stay on them and keep them from running away you should be able to take them down.

Mage

Again range is the killer here. The Mage will kill you in the “Blink” of an eye. The Mage will use Frost Nova on you then Blink away and nuke you with spells. If they get low on health they will Blink away then Polymorph you and use a potion or bandage.

As always try to Charge them first then use Intimidating Shout to keep them from running away, if your a Tauren Warstomp can be used if you don't have the rage.

Hamstring them at all times and if they Polymorph you try to get off Bloodrage. It cost health but while Polymorphed you will regain your health faster.

Pummel and Shield Bash are your friends when fighting casters.

Also if they use Frost Nova an Intimidating Shout will keep them from getting too far so use it as fast as you can when they Frost Nova you.

Paladin

Your in for a long fight but not impossible. At level 40 they have Plate Armor and at lower levels they have a shield and healing.

Charge in Rend, Demoralizing Shout, and Sunder armor is the way to go most of the time, Disarm if you can.

When they put their shield up back off and bandage. They should not be able to shield again unless the fight goes on a very long time.

When they are not shielded and are trying to heal, Charge, Intercept, Pummel, or Shield Bash them to stop them.

Try to use the Berserker Stance ability Execute to finish the fight.

Priest

Shadow Priests are quite possibly the most powerful PvP class there is. You can take them down if you can outlast their mana pool.

First Charge them then switch to Berserker Stance as fast as you can because they will use Physic Scream. When they do use Berserker Rage to break it. If your an Undead you can also use Will Of The Forsaken to break it.

Priest have shields but unlike a Paladin you can beat the shield down.

Pummel, Shield Bash, Charge, Intercept, the Tauren Warstomp, and any other spell stopping ability is the key.

Mortal Strike and Execute is the way to go to take them down. Mortal Strike's 50% healing reduction is great here because you fighting a healer and will make the fight much shorter.

Rogue

If the Rogue sneaks up on you and gets the first hit it's going to be very hard to win the fight. Most Rogues are what is called “Stun Lock” Rogues. They will stun you and keep you that way the whole time.

The key is to first not let them sneak up on you. Always listen for the stealth detect sound, a low sounding whoooom.

If they do sneak up on you the best way to win is to Rend. Rend will keep them from using stealth.

Hamstring them and DO NOT let them get behind you or they will Backstab you.

Use Overpower when you can.

Impale and Deep Wounds are also great for fighting a Rogue.

Disarm is one of the best ways to keep a Rogue down as most all of their abilities require a weapon.

Retaliation is very good too but it has a long cool down For each of their fast swings you get a hard hitting one.

Shaman

This is what I play as my main character. People scream their heads off that Shamans are overpowered. As a Shaman I know better. You just need to know what to do.

Shamans have less armor than a Paladin but do more damage. They are also the worse healers in the game but they can heal.

Many PvP Shamans go down the Elemental tree so they have powerful ranged spells. Charge or Intercept them and break any healing spells they try to get off.

Unlike a Paladin Shamans don't have a shield to hide behind when they need healing.

Shamans will use Frost Shock against you to keep you from running so Hamstring them back to keep them in melee range.

Their shocks can hit hard if they critical so make sure your healing potion cool down timer is off when going in.

Because they are healers and not very good ones a Mortal Strike will really hurt them.

If your a two-hand weapon Warrior ignore their totems but if your a Dual Wield Warrior kill them all.

When you get them into Execute range or run them out of mana it's all over.

Warlock

Warlocks are much like a Hunter in that their pet defines them. Again Ignore the pet and go after the Warlock. Like a Shadow Priest they will use Fear on you so use Berserker Stance and break Fear when it comes.

After fighting them a while you will be able to see the difference between a Fear spell and other Shadow spells so that you can interrupt just it.

Keep the pet away with Intimidating Shout and Hamstring the Warlock to keep them from running away and nuking you from afar.

Warrior

Fighting against another Warrior is a test of skill and equipment. Try to Charge first and keep them Hamstringed and stay behind them. Don't just stand in front of them and try to slug it out.

Use a Rend on them then Sunder Armor is next. Disarm is good as of course most Warrior abilities require a weapon. Demoralizing Shout is also good to keep their damage down.

Professions 

Primary

You now have your Warrior and now you need a job. I will list the primary professions combinations and how they might be good for a Warrior.

Mining and Skinning: If you do not have a main character that can supply your Warrior with lots of money or your Warrior is your main character then two gathering professions is a must. You can sell what you gather and use the money to buy weapons and armor.

I like this combination because Mining is a high profit gathering skill and since you will be killing beasts anyway you might as well skin them and make more money.

Mining and Herbalism: Another gathering combination that works well for making money.

Note: I would not go Mining and Herbalism because you can only track one of them on the mini-map at a time. I can't tell you how many times I've been going along and did not or could not see a resource spot until the yellow dot showed up on the mini-map.

Herbalism and Alchemy: Not really a money maker until you can make swiftness potions and high level stuff like flasks. They love the swiftness potions for the battlegrounds. The potions can be a great boost and you will not have to farm or buy health potions.

Mining and Blacksmithing: This is a good combination to keep you in modest weapons and armor most of the time. You can also make keys that can open locked doors and treasure chests. You also make items needed by other professions like rods for enchanters and items for Engineers.

Mining and Engineering: Engineering is a money pit but oh boy what fun toys you get to play with. You can go, at the higher levels, either Goblin or Gnomish Engineering. Goblin is more towards bombs and Gnomish is more for gadgets.

Engineering is good for PvE and great for PvP. Just remember you will need loads of cash.

Skinning and Leatherworking: This is not a good combination for a Warrior as leather armor is too weak to wear for a Warrior and it does not seem to sell very well.

Enchanting and Tailoring: A good combination. You can disenchant the items you create with tailoring to feed your Enchanting and you can enchant the items you make with Tailoring boosting their value. Also with Tailoring you can make bags.

Enchanting is only really profitable at higher levels. You will be glad that you can enchant you own stuff when you ask for a high level enchant and get a price of several hundred gold back!

Jewlcrafting and Mining: A nice way to make rings and necklaces at the lower levels, trinkets at mid levels, and a good way to make jems to put into socketed weapons and armor at the high levels. You can also make stone statues that heal you and might replace or enhance bandages.

Secondary

There are three secondary professions and I would advise everyone to take all three as you can do them all.

First Aid: With first aid you can make bandages to heal yourself and others. You can normally only do this when out of combat because if you get hit it will stop the healing. Being able to heal yourself and others will help your groups healers mana pool.

Cooking: Cooking allows you to make food that can give you a boost after eating it. The most common boost is one to Stamina and Spirit. More Stamina is just what a Warrior needs. There is also a cool one that allows you to breath fire! You will also regain health faster when eating food.

Fishing: Fishing goes hand in hand with Cooking. Some of the recipes require fish and you can also gather fish faster than other types of raw cooking food.

They have added new things to fishing after nerfing it a few months after the game went live. There are now schools of fish you can see near the shore so you can be more sure of what you are getting.

Also you can now find floating wreckage and fish up items once again such as bolts of cloth, leather, potions, weapons, armor, and more. They have toned it down from what it was like when the game first came out but it once again makes Fishing worth taking up.

Conclusion 

Warriors are pretty good and Blizzard did a good job with them, most likely because all races but Blood Elves have the Warrior class so if they messed them up everyone would complain.

I would suggest a Warrior as a second character because of the need for up to date weapons and armor but with a few money making skills you can have your Warrior feed and cloth himself.

I will try to update, improve, and correct this guide as often as I can.

Good luck Warriors!
