Been scouring an article about warriors and spot some really interesting take on warriors in WoW. Here's some to share.
2. One of my favorite things about my warrior is that the stats on your gear really matter and have an immediate and noticeable effect on your character's performance. Yes, we are gear dependent. We are lucky!
Lets face it, all of the coolest looking weapons and weapon enchants belong to the melee classes. Nothing looks cooler than a whirling buzzsaw of melee carnage that shouts, charges, intercepts, and delivers a frenized beat down while looking awesome with sweet shiny enchants. Your scrolling combat text pukes crits all over your screen and blood flies everywhere. YES PLEASE!
Best of all, your power bar is not energy or mana, IT'S RAGE! Throw in your Last Action Hero CD and turn on Angry Again by Medadeth and then go lay the smack down on the Shade of Aran. Mmm, Delicious!
There is nothing like the Warrior. By far the most fun class in the game.
20. The life of a warrior, with the right gear and expertise, is a multi-faceted plethora of beautiful moments full of carnage, grace, and skill. I submit to you, a montage of possibilities:
1) Tanking those devastatingly-powerful bosses while maintaining the raid and assigning raid icons on the fly in the middle of battle. You might even by mouseover-sundering or tab-target-switching out with a couple of adds and holding aggro on them as well in a raid or heroic and you know that you're the one making it possible if not easy for the rest to wade through the antagonists with reckless abandon.
2) You've respecced 31/30 for arenas so you can get max dps and keep Mortal Strike up on your target to counteract as much healing as possible. One of your teammates drops a windfury totem near you, that enemy priest gets a half a second to look you in the eye from a distance as if staring at an oncoming train, you charge, MS, sword-spec proc, windfury, crit some of them, and he... just... explodes.
3) You're mid-zone by the flag spawn in Eye Of The Storm, prot-specced and wearing a combo of PvP and PvE gear. You have a high mixture of AC, HP, defense, and resilience, and you've decided to keep your shield on. The Horde wash over you like a red tide, and a healer or two out there are keeping you up. Thunderclap... spell reflect spam.. demo shout.. parry... dodge... block... conc blow... intimidating shout... shield wall... last stand... maybe a pot... then a judiciously-used healthstone... they throw everything they have at you, but they just can't take you down.
4) Tanking two WM's in AV with a single healer while the rest of the meager non-afk raid focus on surviving and killing a third WM as a result of one of those all-too-frequent bad pulls by those that don't know better.
5) Watching Omen occasionally during just about any raid and enjoying the sense of confidence you get from knowing that the walking corpse in front of you is going to lay a finger on one of your friends over your dead body.. and your chances of dying while your friends are keeping your health up is VERY slim indeed.
6) Somehow inadvertently getting extra mobs as part of a bad pull in a Heroic and almost single-handedly derailing that train in a fashion that would make any enchanter from Everquest green with envy. You stop to think about all the abilities you just used at just the right time in rapid succession to pull it off, then wonder what playing piano must feel like by comparison.
