Warriors are a very powerful class, with the ability to tank or deal significant melee damage. The warrior's Protection tree contains many talents to improve their survivability and generate threat versus monsters. Protection warriors are one of the main tanking classes of the game.

They also have two damage-oriented talent trees - Arms and Fury, the latter of which includes the talent Titan's Grip, which allows the warrior to wield two two-handed weapons at the same time! They are capable of strong melee AoE damage with spells such as Cleave, Whirlwind, Bladestorm. A warrior fights while in a specific stance, which grants him bonuses and access to different sets of abilities. He will use Defensive Stance for tanking, and Battle Stance or Berserker Stance for melee DPS.

• All warriors can buff their raid or group by using a shout, Battle Shout or Commanding Shout, and Fury warriors can provide the passive buff Rampage which significantly increases the melee and ranged critical strike chance of his allies.
• Warriors start out with only Battle Stance at first, but learn Defensive Stance at level 10 and Berserker Stance at level 30.
• Warriors have numerous useful methods of getting to their target in a hurry! All warriors can use Charge or Intercept to reach an enemy and Protection warriors have Intervene, which allows them to intercept a friendly target and protect them from an attack.
