Warrior Guide

Scroll down to see the contents of the guide.

The Warrior class is your “sword and shield” style fighter. While just not limited to swords and shields, the Warrior class is one tough brawler. They can take the hits and dish out the damage with their ability to utilize some of the best armor in the game (defense wise). From two-handed swords to borrowing a fellow casters staff, the Warriors are trained in nothing but up close combat and their skillset proves it.

If you’re looking for heavy melee DPS or the ability to stand head to head to the nastiest monsters in the game then the Warrior class is for you. Rogues are still the best melee offense (as it is their specialty), but Warriors are capable of coming up with their own form of devastating melee damage performance.

If you are seeking information on the demonic Warrior class, then you’ve found the right place! Our Warrior guide contains all the information you need, from talent builds to the best professions. Should our Warrior class guide not answer a question, we have our very own Warrior forums to assist you. You can even submit your own content for this guide by emailing us!

Blizzard's Official Warrior Description

The official word on Warriors!

Warriors can be a raging berserker or an iron-clad juggernaut, capable of withstanding tremendous attacks while protecting their allies from harm. They have a wide variety of attacks that do everything from cripple their enemies, to dealing massive amounts of damage in a single retaliatory blow, and enhancing their allies' fighting ability with battle shouts. They excel at fighting multiple opponents at once, gaining rage from every blow dealt or received to unleash their attacks. Warriors are a versatile class with a variety of play-styles to choose from.

The Warrior can be a defensive, shielded tank, a damage-dealing powerhouse, or a mixture of the two. Their abilities obviously pertain to the art of close combat; their stances carry with them different moves for different situations and party setups. All in all, the Warrior is one of the prime candidates to capture and hold the attention of creatures while they die to sword and spell.
