If you are about to embark on your first World of Warcraft journey for the first time, then there are all the multiple aspects of the game that you will need to learn, from gold making to PvP, and PvE. It would take an entire encyclopedia just to go into lengths about each of these aspects. For this article though, the emphasis will be on the classes of characters, including their strengths and special abilities.

I’ll talk about the Warrior first. This class gets close to the enemy and dishes out heavy damage. One of their best abilities is the tank role. This role allows them to take damage, and therefore cuts down on the attack to other members of your party.

Next are Paladins. This class can assume different roles as healers, tanks, and dishing out damage. They are also great for applying buffs to ally characters. Buffs are special spells that enhance a character’s stats, such as attack power, magic, and defense.

The next class are Mages. Mages are the spell casters of the game. They specialize in offensive spells that deal a high damage output to the enemy. Spell casting also give the Mages the advantage of attacking at a distance. While Mages benefit from strong spell attacks, they unfortunately have fairly weak armor, which equates to poorer defense.

Hunters are long range specialists and can deal effective damage from afar. This allows them to avoid close quarters combat, and minimize chances of taking damage. Hunters also stand out in that they can have a combat pet by their side. These constant companions can deal additional damage as well as act as tanks.

Priests take on a support role. Judging by their name, you can probably guess that they don’t deal direct attacks to the enemy. Instead they are the healers, and can also neutralize harmful spells inflicted on your allies.

Instead of specializing in a single role, Shamans can be whatever role is needed in the heat of battle. They can switch from healer, to attacker, to casting offensive spells.

Warlocks can call forth on demons to participate in combat. Warlocks also have spell casting abilities which allow them to cast spells that specialize in long term damage, such as poison.

The last class are Rogues. This class is best known for their stealth ability, which allows them to deal close range damage undetected. This trait allows the Rogue to slip in, get the kill, and move back out.

So there it is, the classes you have to choose from in World of Warcraft. With this knowledge in mind, you should have a better idea of which style will best suit your play preference, and stick with that class.

Warriors are one of the great melee classes. Being capable of a Tank, they are regarded as the best tanking class yet. However, they can do great damage in case of PvP and PvE. They are the masters of the melee fight and capable of equipping all the melee weapons and Dual Wield. Besides this, they can wear Shields and Plate armor. It is the Rage, which is gained using the special abilities and talents of the Warriors by taking and dealing damage.

The Warriors have stances they can choose between. The Defensive Stance is normally only used for tanking because it reduces the damage done by 10%. However, it does increase the threat made by 10% and the damage done to the Warrior is reduced by 10% as well. Then there is the Battle Stance which is their basic stance which doesn’t give any boosts or reductions and finally there is the Berserker Stance which increases the Warrior’s critical strike rating by 3% but also increases damage done to the Warrior by 10%. Some abilities can only be used when the Warrior is in a particular stance.

Warriors are strong enough to take a few punches and thereby leveling becomes easy due to their good damage output. It is better to carry a shield during leveling as it will brighten the chance of tanking an instance. If you are between the levels 70-80, you require a Protection build so that you can tank the instances anyhow. According to me, Warriors are the fast levelers as you can Charge into the next one by killing the mobs pretty faster. In spite of having a few abilities, you will not lose a lot of health on account of the plate armor. This is helpful in restoring hitpoints at the stake of using some bandages, which is not so much time-consuming.

All the races, except the Blood Elves, have Warriors in their ranks.

In order to become good tanks, the Warriors need the Protection talent tree. This talent tree includes plenty of abilities just to reduce the damage done to the Warrior. Your threat can be improved by using this talent tree, and you can gain some new but nice abilities like Shield Slam, Spell Reflection, Last Stand, and Shock Wave. It is my candid opinion that a great tank is the Warrior himself. Nevertheless, the Warriors that are Blizzard designed are supposed to be the best at the tanks.

As a WoTLK, Arms tree is supposed to be the weakest talent tree, for many Warriors. It is because the Fury talent tree possesses some great talents that make it better to stay in PvP and PvE. The Mortal Strike has the debuff which is left on the character and thus healing is reduced by 50%, which is good owing to the Arms tree. Nevertheless, it is the Furious Attacks talent tree with which the Fury Warriors have the same things and same debuff of 50% healing reduced on the target. This tree enables you of using Dual Wield two two-handed weapons just similar to class in WoW. This looks great at the same time boosts the damage by putting the Arms build more in the shadows. Eventually, the other PvP talent namely Heroic Fury which successfully removes the cooldown from your intercept with immobilizing effects.

If you are thinking about rolling a new warrior, or race changing your old one, it is important to have a grasp of what the various races bring to the table. Racials aren’t that big a deal, but for anyone looking to maximize their potential it is important to pick the best race. This article will explain what each race excels at, be it Tanking, DPS, or PvP.

The first race is of course Human. Their on-use racial, Every Man for Himself, is pretty good for Tanks, although it is situational. Where it really shines is PvP, where it is probably the best racial in the game. Their extra expertise with maces and swords is handy across the board, adding DPS with the relevant weapons. Perception is handy against stealthers in PvP, but don’t expect to beat stealthers at their own game too often.

Dwarf warriors are another popular choice, and for good reason. Stoneform is handy for Tanks and PvP warriors in particular, adding survivability, although DPS can benefit as well, since dead dwarves do no damage. Their bonus to expertise with Maces is good across the board, adding even more damage than a warrior’s mace bonus. And the extra Frost Resistance they come with can be good against mages, and occasionally shaman.

Gnomes are our next race to consider. They lack any damage improving racials, and while Escape Artist isn’t a bad racials, it is weaker than similar racials. I don’t recommend gnome for your warrior if you care about racials at all.

Night Elves, like gnomes, lack any beneficial racials for DPSing, but as Tanks they excel, bringing an extra 2% avoidance to physical attacks and Nature spells. This also helps them in PvP, alongside their ability to Shadowmeld.

Finally we have Draenei. For DPS, Tanking, and PvP, Heroic Presence is a great boon, reducing the amount of Hit you and your party need to stack by 1%. Unfortunately it doesn’t stack, so it is a waste if you are not the only Draenei around. Gift of the Naaru can be a decent emergency heal too, and is equally handy for Tanking, DPS, and PvP, although generally if a Tank needs to heal himself things are going badly. Their extra Shadow Resistance is also a nice bonus when facing Warlocks and Priests in PvP.

So, to summarize; Night Elves make the best tanks thanks to their amazing extra avoidance. For PvP, there is no better race in the game than Human, thanks to the amazing Every Man for Himself freeing up a trinket slot. And for DPS or all-around purposes, Draenei heads the list.

Determining which race your new Horde warrior should be can be difficult. Some of the racials are worded vaguely, and determining whether Blood Fury or Berserking is better is impossible unless you’ve compared them at 80. But don’t fret, because we’ll go over each race, detailing the value its racials brings to the table for PvP, Tanking, and DPS.

The first race we’ll wnat to discuss is Undead. For PvP, undead have historically been the best, but in 3.3 Will of the Forsaken will be nerfed, reducing them to merely “okay”. For DPS, they bring nothing to the table. For Tanking, being able to get out of fears and other CC and regrab aggro can save the day.

Second up is Orc. For PvP, Orc’s stun reduction is handy, and Blood Fury is great for bursting down enemies. For DPS, Blood Fury is again a great DPS boost, and with many top-end warrior weapons being axes, their Axe Expertise will also add a handy boost to their DPS in many cases. For Tanking, Orc doesn’t bring much to the table.

The gigantic Tauren are the third race we’ll discuss. For DPS, they don’t have any relevant racials, although Warstomp can occasionally save the day, and the extra health can keep them alive a little longer if things go bad. For Tanking, though, that extra health is a major boon. And for PvP, they are fantastic, thanks to the extra CC and survivability their racials bring them.

Though they lack in popularity, Trolls make good warriors. They make one of the best DPS races in the game, thanks to Berserking. For Tanking they don’t really have anything worthwhile, although Regeneration might be worth something. For PvP, the burst of Berserking and the duration reduction of movement impairing CC both benefit them greatly.

So which races are best for which purposes? Tauren is the clear winner for PvP, now that Undead is getting nerfed. For DPS, you want Troll or Orc; Orc is better when wielding Axes, Troll otherwise. Since a lot of top-end weapons are axes right now, Orc is probably the better choice. And finally, Tauren once again are the best, this time for Tanking.

So, that’s it for this article on Horde racials for warriors. Tauren is my personal top pick; doing a few dozen more damage every second is nice, but having more health on the tank can mean the difference between a wipe and downing the boss. Not to mention I love PvP. Hope you enjoyed this article, be sure to check out my site!
