Guides and Tips about the warrior class.
Warriors are tanks since forever ;>
In late times , (Vanilia) there were some crazy specs with Mortal Strike forTanking Warriors, after few patch Blizzard decided that this is a bit Stupid that Arms Warrior are tanks so they do a lot of changes , buffs, nerfs etc etc so eventually Prot Warriors Become tanks :)
Prot Warrior has 3 primary skills to keep aggro
Sunder Armor/Devastate
Shield Slam
Revenge
With priorite Shield Slam > Revenge> Devastate
You should use SS every CD, and every Swoard and Broad proc. [S&B refresh CD on SS and reduce it's cost by 100% it mean that you can use it even with 0 rage :>]
Revenge is only usable after the warrior blocks, dodges or parries an attack, Due too fact that Warriors are Blocking/Dogding/Parrying attacks preety often it should be useable eveyrtime: > So just use it every CD :)
Devastate is melle attack which cause Sunder Armor effect in addition to his quite nice dmg
[Spam it every Global CD if those 2 previews Skills are on CD]
Warrior have also few AoE tanking abilities
Thunder Clap : ability that causes physical damage and slows up enemies' attacks
Demoralizing shout : flat rate attack power reduction shout
Those 2 skills does not generate hight Threat but they are good to just keep them on you :)
And we are coming to the best one Prot Warrior Ability :)
Shockwave is a wave of "schock ":P for a distance of about 7 yards. It does considerable damage and a four second stun.
Thunder Clap and Shockwave abilities should be on CD all the time while you are tanking a lot of Mobs remeber to also keep Demo Shout on mobs so they will hit you for much less dmg ;)
Now let's talk something about tricks :)
Prot warrior has amazing talent Warbringer , it let you to use Charge , Intercept and Intervene in any stance (which basily mean that you can do eveyrthing now in Defence Stance)
Without that talent to use a charge you had to be in Battle stance, to Intercept in Berserk Stance and to Intervene in Defensive stance.
That talent gives prot warriors AMAZING movement abilities, (it also removes snares and stuns from warrior)
Some peopl are calling it Warriors Blink :)
Let's say that you pulled to much mobs and you dont know what to do, STUN them,
Prot Warrior has amazing abilites to stun mobs.
Shockwave -4 sec AoE stun
Impr Revenge Talent- gives you a 50% change to stun enegemy for 3 sec after using Revenge on it.
Concusion Blow- 5 sec CD
Charge - 1.5 sec CD
Intercept 3 sec CD
Of course to use Charge and Intercept you need to be in some range from mobs, and that's why you can do a trick
cast Intervene on your Party member which is far away from you, and then you can charge/intercept back to your enemy :)
So basicly how to tank a warrior :)
Get close to group of mobs (but not close enought to pull them) Mark them , and Then use Charge ability on one of them - you will get Extra Rage after using Charge :>(with impr Charge talent that amount will be even bigger)
Then use Thunder Clap and Demo Shout, and Start normall tanking rotation on one of them (SS->Revenge->Devastate) if some of your Mindless dps will overaggro use TAUNT.
If someone will start AoEing Start Using Every CD Thunder Cap and Shockwave.
(remeber to use Charge/Intercept to get to mob which is going after your healer/dps)
You can always use Intervene on guy which overaggro so mob will hit you instaed of him, that' s also good thing to do :)
It's also good to use Bloodrage before you pull that ability will give you some amount of rage, you can also use it every CD while fighting mobs if you need more Rage it's all up to you ;)
Remeber to DO NOT tunnelvision on one mob, keep an eye on eveyrthing, a lot of ppl are making mistakes, they are overaggroing and you need to save them after that ;) Unfortunatly that's your job :>
Have Fun :>
Hey guys, my name is Jack. Or Venturian, whichever you'd like to prefer. I have been playing a warrior for over three years now, in my time as a warrior I have played mostly Arms PvP and Fury PvE, with a brief moment of tanking in my TBC days. In this guide I will focus on the Talents and stats for the Fury PvE warrior.
I will explain the talents that are manditory, and some talent that you can choose yourself, I will delve into the hit cap, and stats you should be stacking for maximum DPS. Let's start with the talents.
Fury PvE talents.
As the title suggests, this part will focus on the PvE talents for fury, as well as the few points in your arms tree.
The talent build which most warriors, including myself use is a 18/53/0 talent spec, of course there are slightly different versions, but from my experience this build will give you ultimate DPS and Rage Generation.
Mandatory Talents you should get!
Arms:
Improved heroic strike, as Heroic Strike is our main rage dump, it is a good idea to spec into this. The loss of 3 rage cost on Heroic Strike will help with rage management, and DPS.
Impale: 20% extra damage from crits, I don't need to explain why this is awesome.
Deep Wounds: A good portion of your overall damage will come from this talent, a required bleed.
Two Handed Weapon Specialisation: You're using two of these. Of course it's good.
Fury:
Armoured to the teeth: This talent scales nicely with gear, and is a massive boost to your attack power.
Cruelty: 5% crit? Yes please!
Improved Cleave: I'll be honest, this talent IS optional. I like to roll with it to maximise my AoE Damage with whirlwind and thunderclap, but if you'd prefer to use these 3 points elsewhere. Do so.
Commanding Presence: A massive boost to your attack power, which means more DPS.
Dual Wield Specialisation: Yes. Enough said.
Death Wish: It's like a third trinket, when used in conjunction with Bloodlust this is godlike.
Precision: If you have 8% hit from your gear, drop this talent and use the points elsewhere.
Flurry: Overall attack speed increase, you should be critting all the time anyway so this is up permanently.
Intensify Rage: a 33% reduction on the cooldown of 3 of your most important abilities.
Bloodthirst: The best attack for a fury warrior.
Improved Whirlwind: A buff for your second best attack.
Improved Berserker Stance: As well as this stat stacking insanely well with your strength, it also stacks with Blessing of Kings. Get it.
Rampage: A raid buff for 5% extra crit? This is why people love fury warriors nowadays.
Bloodsurge: Our third best attack, never use slam unless this has procced.
Unending Fury: A buff to all of our main attacks? CHYAAAH.
Titan's Grip: ...Damn I love warriors.
Those are the mandatory talents you should have, there is of course room for changing and experimenting yourself, but I wouldn't recommend cutting more than 1-2 of these talents, especially not the best ones.
The hitcap for a fury warrior with precision is 5%, without precision, 8%. Make sure you have enough hit rating to meet this mark, even if it means using hit gems.
Once your at the hitcap, its strength all the way, get strength anywhere and everywhere, to meet the blue gem requirement of your meta socket, use the +Strength +Stam gem, I believe it is purple but I could be wrong.
Well that's it for this guide, I hope you enjoyed reading it and have fun with your fury warrior.
Jack.
