World of Warcraft - Classes / Warriors

Warriors
Warriors are the melee-centered class. These characters are tough as nails and masters of weaponry and tactics. The special abilities of the Warrior are naturally combat-oriented. The Warrior is the ultimate toe-to-toe fighter with the most options available to him. Unlike other Warriors you might have played in other games, the Warrior of World of Warcraft has many different options and abilities to use during combat.

Tips

•  Team up with healers (Priest, Shaman, Druid) to keep you alive.
•  Pick one or two of the two-handed weapon types to use. It costs points to train in each type, so focus on just a few.
•  Manage your Rage! If you are fighting a caster save some for a timely shield bash/kick to stop them from blasting you or healing themselves. That one extra use of Heroic Strike may have caused some extra damage but if the monster heals it's like starting all over.
•  Try and plan your Talents ahead of time. If you want to make a fierce close in fighter with many hit points, you should stick with the stamina and prowess Talents. If you want to be an offensive powerhouse, you should stick with the Strength and Weapon Specialization Talents.
•  Protect your group mates. A Priest or a Mage isn't meant to take the brunt of an enemy's attack. Use the Taunt ability to focus the attacks on yourself.
