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.
The warrior talents and abilities are split into trees. Depending on the talent tree chosen you can specialize your warrior as either an:
Arms Warrior - being one, allows players to have multiple talents mostly invoking abilities both for offensive and utility purposes. Two handed weapons are the weapons of choice for this kind of warrior giving the heaviest damage which with the aid of the "Mortal Strike" abillity will increases damge meted out exponentially during combat.
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 spec for warriors is ideal both for offensive but especially for defensive combat. To this end is the most ideal spec for group, instances and raids. Protection warriors can choose from a wide range of defensive abilities enabling them to deflect damage and last longer aided by the use of shields which also enable a range of spells not available if using two handed weapons. If a warrior wants to Tank this is the spec to choose.
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.
