Warrior PvP

[Wirago 8]

Hi Guys,

 

Since I won't probably have the time to stick to a progressive raiding schedule (full time job, other hobbies, a wife...    ) I want to focus on PvP. 
Basically I want to play warrior because I never had one on retail becuase I don't wanted to let my long played paladin "die". 

 

What is your experience with warriors in PvP?

By "PvP" I mean battlegrounds and world PvP mainly. 1v1 is... well... something I need to deal with ^^
Also I am aware that I probably wont get the highest PvP gear, but better than "average" is my clear target.

Party with a healer and it will be awesome.

 

If you try to do things alone you will be frustrated, especially when you meet a mage.

Well I'm in a good mood to whine about Warrior, today

You won't have fun with a PVP Warrior, unless you accomplish thoses requirements : 

 

At the beginning, is the Warrior. It deals 0 damage, and die in the first 30s of fight.

 

==> Arms specialisation. You need an epic raid weapon found usually on last raid bosses, or The Unstoppable Force (Alterac Valley Hammer), or Arcanite Reaper (expensive blue crafted axe), but 2H Swords spec is superior.

 

You know deal amazing damage, but still are diededed pretty fast.

 

==> Rank 10 gear, or equivalent. It means a rare or better in all slots.

 

You know deal damage, survives better but at this point of the game all geared classes will still pown, root, snare or kite you to death.

 

==> You need a pocket Healer, or a dedicated premade groupe wich will assure you can move freely and stay at least alive.

 

Congrats ! You successfully went from worst to best PVP class !   

 

More random tips :

 

Gnome Racial makes best PVP Warrior, Alliance Paladins will get you better assist, but Horde Shaman's Windfury Totem decuples your damages to an Oneshoot level.

Engineering can help you a lot (with all gimmicks, you're even able to kill a Frost Mage !)

Free Action Potions is a Must-Have.

First Aid helps, too.

 

 

Also, just forget about 1vs1 and WPVP, this isn't the Class you're looking for.

I mean everyone tells me shaman is good to group up with warrior but i disagree unless u have priest with you. When you are warrior i would rank the healers

1.Paladin Hands down the warriors best friend. Warrior + Paladin in vanilla is better love story than titanic.

2.Priest; Dispels great heeling, aoe fear downside is that priest's can be squishy.

3&4. Druid / Shaman; Windfury is strong yes but warriors are strong without windfury too if geared correctly. You need dispels.  Druid is situational but sometimes

roots + druid's survival makes it decent healer for warriors

 

So in world pvp u are pretty useless even with other players if you dont have healer with you. Premades are the place where warrior's shine and alliance usually uses more warriors than Horde. 1vs1 well without Free Action Potions or/and engineering you are just free HK unless u outgear the otherplayer
