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.
