Warrior – A Tank & Melee Dps
by AMA on Nov.25, 2009, under Warcraft, WoW Leveling
In WoW, the class of Warriors is considered to hold the first place when it comes to the tanking abilities and when it comes to their dps abilities, they also don’t lack. Because a Warrior can fulfill both the role of a great tank or a devastating melee class in PvP and PvE they are usually wanted in groups for dungeons and PvP scenarios. Especially since the dual talent builds have become available a Warrior has become a lot more fun to play.
Being a tank with the Protection talent tree all the time is fun for a while but from my own experience it can get quite boring especially if you have been playing for several years. Now that you can choose a second talent build like the Arms and Fury talent build you can freely switch between the both of the specs without paying gold.

For a Warrior is easy to gather two sets of different gear, one for dps and one for tanking. If you posses the adequate gear for certain build, you can switch when needed, in example tank an instance to help your friends, or you can also change to a dps Warrior if you feel like doing some PvP or just grinding. It must be said that the Protection Warriors are favored by many because tanks can be rare on some servers.
Protection talent build would be your choice if you decide to become a tank. The talents you can find on this tree will surely make your Warrior a tough tank. The Protection tree will enable you to increase your tank’s armor, stamina, shield abilities, threat, etc. which all will contribute in making you more capable while tanking in any raid or dungeon.
The Arms and Fury talent tree of the Warrior are supposed to increase the Warriors damage. Arms talent build is mostly preferred by the PvP players since it has many good PvP talents and a few very useful attacks, for example Mortal Strike, which will decrease the healing done on a target affected by it. The Mortal Strike has proven to be lethal for many arena teams and in PvP in general. For more information on WoW class guides, read our review: Warcraft Pros
If you prefer PvE more than PvP and you want to dps with your Warrior, Fury talent tree will need your attention. There are a lot of complaints however about the damage output a Fury Warrior can make and some say that an Arms Warrior is even more effective in PvE, which basically would mean that Fury became an useless build. However, this is something you need to see for yourself and try out. After all, with the Fury talent build, you will receive several nice attacks and other nice talents and as a Fury Warrior you will be the only class that is able to use two Two Handed Weapons which gives the character a great look!
Through the history and in any mmorpg, Warriors have played an important role while fighting battles. The Warrior class in the World of Warcraft is the only class which can equip all the weapons. A Warrior wears plate and in the combination with a good shield he will be able to become a great tank and while equipped with two-handed weapons, a Warrior will be able to make a lot of damage.
