Description
Warriors are the melee based class. These characters are as tough as steel and are masters in handling weapons. In the same time, they have an advanced tactical level.
Special abilities of the warrior are naturally combat-oriented. Warrior is the ultimate fighter in face to face combat with the most options available. Unlike warriors that you could have in other games, WoW Warrior has many choices and many skills to use during combat.

The Rage
A warrior has a red rage bar. This is the equivalent of mana for casters. During the fight, warrior generates rage in relation to damage he generate and the damage taken / prevented.
He can also generate rage using some special skills. Rage bar continues to fill as long as the warrior combats. Once the warrior has enough rage, he can use skills that require rage. When the fighting stops, the rage of the warrior falls slowly to zero. Warrior also loses all his rage if he changes stance in combat (see below). You have to plan your battle to avoid having to change the stance in the middle of the battle.
The stance
Warrior has different positions that determine what skills he can use during combat. There are special buttons for stances and they are located above your action bar. If you change stances in combat, you lose all of your rage. Generally, you should not change the position during combat. The different postures are in fact provided for different situations. Each stance has its own action bar. You place the skills related to this position in the bar. When you change stances, the bar changes automatically.
** Battle Stance: Use mainly in solo.
** Defensive Stance: This attitude offers special attacks but gives the warrior a bonus especially in defense. When you play the role of main tank in a group, it’s the position to adopt.
** Berserker Stance: This attitude allows you to do more damage but the warrior is then a little more exposed. If you play the role of secondary tank in a group, feel free to use it.

Arms Skills
Here we find all of the skills that can be cut, tear or knock enemies. This includes direct attacks, DoT and the blow that stuns the opponent for a moment. But that’s not all, far from it. The Warrior can also struck lightning to the multiple enemies at once, or even prevent a mage casting a spell for a few seconds. And believe me, this seems to be very long in a fight!
Fury Skills
Warrior has several cries that are useful in different combat situations. All of the cries of rage need to be used, they are triggered instantly and have a relatively short time before they can be reused. Some cries improve the damage of the group, others may scare away nearby enemies and we even found that it reduces the effectiveness of offensive monsters.
Protection Skills
Here is the famous warrior’s Taunt, ability to attract the monsters on it and prevents the weaker characters to take too many slaps. However, there are other useful skills as Revenge, which allows a counter-attack against an enemy in melee who just hit you. You can also reduce the armor of the enemy or disarm an enemy, just as do the Defias in Westfall. Finally, some will surely appreciate striking with their shields using Shield Bash, especially since this skill will cancel the spell a monster is preparing.
You can find complete list of skills within your WoW Warrior Leveling Guide.
Some Tips
Make groups with healers (Priest, Shaman, Druid) to stay alive.
Choose one or two types of weapons with both hands. It costs skill points, so you can concentrate on one or two at most.
Manage your Rage properly. If you fight a caster, keep the rage at the right time to trigger a Shield Bash or Kick to prevent it from attacking you or be unable to heal. Usage of more Strike causes additional damage, but if the monster heals after that, it will be worth nothing.
Plan a long term way to spend your talent points. If you want a warrior with a lot of points, invest in endurance. If you want to do more damage, choose the strength and specialization in weapons.
Protect your partner group, a priest or a mage is not made to collect the bulk of the enemy attack. Use the Taunt skill to attract hits on you.
It is very important to get your skills in different weapons so you can easily switch weapons if you can find very good ones. Take different types of weapons with you and switch between them to get your skills in different types of weapons.
