What is good about playing a warrior in world of warcraft? There are a fair few world of warcraft guides around, but all of them seem to be focuses on PvP and the info there seems to be a bit too terse and technical. Instead what we shall concentrate on is what it is to be playing a warrior either in a group or alone, without all that jargon.

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.

Like all other classes a warrior has talents and abilities divided up in three major trees which at end game can become their specialist areas:

Arms warriors choose this ability to have a large range of abilities in offensive and utility talents. Two handed weapons are best suited to this tree spec which are exponentially increased with warrior spells like "Mortal Strike" which further increase combat damage.

Fury Warrior: this is the spec that is preferred by warriors looking to power level fast in world of warcraft. They too specialize in two handed weapon combat and have fantastic talents like "Flurry" where they can win or turn a fight with one single move. Fury warriors are also often referred as Rogues with plate armor such is their similarity when inflicting weapon damage and speed of fighting.

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.

Each of these three tree talent are triggered by the stance the warrior uses: Protection, Beserker and Battle stance. Hence before reaching the more exciting end game you can sample each spec to see which one suits you best as you quest and grind.
