You have no abilities similar to aspect of the pack, blink, or sprint to help you get around faster until your level 40 mount.

The only thing Warriors can kill in PvP on their own ;)

Here's an.. uhh.. sneak peak of a Class Picking Guide on the works. Expect it somewhere this weekend @teebling wink wink.

Warrior

  • Keywords: Tank, Slow levelers, Most popular class, Extremely good at higher content

  • Leveling: You will have a miserable experience. There is just no other way around it. You cannot fight multiple enemies at once without using those long cooldowns. You need to bandage/eat after few mobs (Protip: find a mage friend to create some food for you at the beginning of a play session, and tip them some silver. This is way cheaper than buying food). Your damage and survival is extremely gear dependent. If you do have a friend who wants to pocket heal you though (preferably a priest), your life is instantly 10 times better. Grab a shield and a one hander and keep them relevant for dungeons. You can tank them in DPS spec just fine (until level 50~ I’d say). Alone, you are the slowest and least efficient leveler in the entire game. However don’t fret! Your hard work will soon be rewarded.

  • Ease of leveling: 1/10

  • Fun of leveling: 1~5/10

  • Server population: You will be the highest represented class in the entire vanilla, and for a good reason. However do note that many people will quit leveling a Warrior simply due to how slow they are.

  • End-game, PvE: If you made it to level 60 as a Warrior, I salute you! Now the real game begins. You are the only tank that any serious raiding guild will bring. If you mention “tank, LF anything” in trade chat, it will take approximately 0.2 seconds before someone invites you for a 5 man. The gear (in a good guild) will always go to the warrior tank first. People will bend over if you are a capable tank. Tanking is not that easy though, so you better know your encounters and your abilities very well. If you do this, and get a loyal guild, you will be golden. Key is finding a good guild, and performing well yourself. There will be many warrior tanks, but around 10% of them will be exceptional, and 50% will be terrible. 40% will be OK. Be the 10%. At higher tiers your DPS goes through the roof into the Outlands. These two reasons are why there are so many Warriors in vanilla.

  • End-game, PvP: Find a pocket healer. Dominate PvP. Not much to be said here. Just remember to protect your healer from sneaky rogues/druids, and you will win 90% of the encounters.

  • Suggested professions: Engineering (PvP), Mining, Blacksmithing, Herbalism, Alchemy, Enchanting

  • Why should you pick this class? Do you have a god complex? Do you like finding parties in an instant? Do you also have what it takes to grind for hours and hours for repair bills, respect costs, buying the best flasks, potions, farming world buffs, items? Well then you can slowly become a legend on your server. Guild will disband over fighting you, the earth beneath your feet will TREMBLE UPON YOUR FOOTSTEPS AND YOUR BLADE… uh. Let’s not get carried away. There is a good reason why Warriors are the most represented class in Vanilla. But don’t get cocky because a great Warrior is not only hard to master, but also incredibly time consuming. Now that doesn’t mean that casuals can’t become good and reliable tanks or DPS’ers, but the difference between an OK Warrior and an amazing Warrior is crystal clear.

  • Items to look out for: https://classic.wowhead.com/item=6975/whirlwind-axe the most iconic warrior weapon. Quest is available at level 30, but you will need help from level 40 players due to final boss. https://classic.wowhead.com/item=2291/kang-the-decapitator is a beast 2H weapon, but it can sell for a really high price on AH since it's the best for the 40-49 twinks. https://classic.wowhead.com/item=14551/edgemasters-handguards BiS for fury warriors in PvE, including Naxxramas drops. For tanks https://classic.wowhead.com/item=14549/boots-of-avoidance or https://classic.wowhead.com/item=14552/stockade-pauldrons will last you well into your first raid or two.
  • Actually I was originally not planning to play Warrior during Classic, but I recently rolled an undead warrior on Retail and my god they look amazing. I also love tanking so I may actually be a madman and go Warrior this time around. Either that or Druid, because I really want to tank some damn dungeons!

    Looking good! Makes me even more excited to play one.
    Can’t wait to see the warlock one, considering that as an alt at some point.

    If you are new to clsssic, main a warrior. If you already aced it, but want a change of pace, make an warrior alt, once your main got set. Warriors are great alts but hard mains.

    pfff why play the 4767 Warrior on your Realm when you be the one of the elite 10 Ret Palas ;)

    This comment—while sarcastic, also holds truth to it.

    It's an obvious truth that many people already know. Warriors are immensely popular, for all the right reasons. It shines in every mode, and is needed everywhere. It will cause a whole lot of players to roll a Warrior, or at least have one.

    I do think Retribution Paladins will have a huge burst of popularity in Classic compared to Vanilla, both because of popular streamers as well as current iterations of World of Warcraft has a whole lot of homogenization in specializations, but also the fact that Retribution is not bad in PvP, they are actually pretty good, despite what people are trying to say. PvE is another discussion. While not amazing, they can pull a certain weight.

    Luckily, the more Warriors we get, the more we need other classes to be compatible with them. Warriors are extremely strong, and rightfully so, from RPG standpoint and I think that is fine, but they will need help in terms of buffs and healing.

    On Horde side, a Warrior together with a Shaman can cause natural disasters with the help of Windfury Totem.

    On Alliance side, a Warrior together with a Paladin can create an immovable—as well as an unstoppable force with all the supporting buffs.

    But all in all, it will be difficult to make a name for yourself, because there's 4766 other Warriors that could stand out far more than you. You will not be unique in any way.

    Interesting read https://www.theoryspot.com/forums/f174/35502-warrior-leveling-demystified.htm l">about arms/2h fury/dw fury leveling(from patch 2.3) - not sure how accurate it is for Classic. I did DW up to 58 on Felmyst, and I loved the amount of rage I had.

    One note from the level 21-22 sample , "Notable that in the last example Louie (DW Fury) was #2 in dps, following Huey (2H Arms) by a very close margin (39.8 dps vs 38.9). Louie's smoother rage generation is attributable to the synergy which Unbridled wrath (UW) has with fast dual-wielded weapons. Even when swinging heroic with his main hand, Louie's off-hand weapon can still hit during or immediately following the main hand swing period and produce rage; an advantage over both of the 2H warriors who can produce no rage (Arms) or only +1 rage (2H Fury UW) during a heroic swing."
