World of Warcraft: A Warrior's Guide

World of Warcraft, if you haven't tried playing it, you have definetly heard of it as it is one of the best selling (and most addicting) games in history! I am here to discuss what I feel is the most efficient and fun class in the game, the warrior. Through this guided discussion I will cover the following:

The Basics

1. Picking the best race for your warrior.

2. General guidelines for choosing equipment during your weeks of leveling to 60.

3. The most efficient talent point builds for leveling.

The End-Game Warrior

1. Top level 60 warrior talent builds.

2. End-game raiding and what to expect with your warrior.

3. Strategies and concepts for main tanking in a raid.

So you want to start a warrior, but you have no idea what race to make it. Lets first dicuss the best combinations for warriors. First of all, you must decide if you favor Alliance or Horde. The Horde have some of the best racials in the game for warriors, specifically orcs and taurens. By racials I am referring to the unique passive abilities of each race. To make the most out of your warrior, you are going to want to look into the future, what are your goals for your warrior? Do you want to be a blood thirsty beserker cutting through your enemies on the battlefield? Or would you prefer to be the backbone of your guild, going face to face with huge dragons and the like, where every action you take (or fail to take) could mean certain disaster for your friends? These are questions you need to ask yourself. Of course you could build your warrior to do both, however you would be sufficiently lacking in both areas and game play would not be maximized.
