World of Warcraft at Ten Ton Hammer

As a warrior, whether we’re taking the beat down or dishing it out ourselves, our performance is greatly dependent on our gear. There are some items that warriors may not be aware of through quests, instances and crafting that would help them get on the raiding scene or help them in their tanking for 5-mans.

These are in order by level requirement and not necessarily by “Best in Slot” for whichever set you’re looking for. These are also only from the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.
