1)
I picked this build because using your guide allows you
to solo, and you need to be able to do a lot of damage fast. I also DID
NOT pick two-hand specialization because with duel wield at lvl 20 you can do
much more dmg per second with two one hand weapons. This build will
help you to generate more damage over time (DOT) and damage per second (DPS)
if you use dual-wield. There is no need, in my opinion, to put points
in protection because warriors can get some of the best armor in the game. 2)
I always keep a shield handy if I think the battle will
be difficult I change to the sheild because the shield bash ability is handy
in stunning an enemy or stopping a spell (especially fear from warlocks in
PvP). 3)
Also I would recommend getting a crossbow or gun
ability. The crossbow can be picked up at Stormwind and the gun in
Ironforge. This can help in creating a good pull if other enemies are
too close to do a charge. 4)
As far as professions or skills it is really up to
you. I went into mining and blacksmithing because you can make some
great stuff. Some will tell you to stay away from it because you can
find better stuff as you gain levels. This is very true at the higher
levels. You can also make a great deal of money this way by selling the
higher level creations. If you follow the guide Brian has made you will
find mining spots along the way, and it does eat a little bit of time, but
only make stuff as you are located near the towns. There is a good
point for herbalism/alchemy (great for buffs), but I still think the
mining/blacksmith is a better route. 5)
For attacking in PvE, use the following if there are no
enemies too close to your target. 6)
Charge -> Thunder Strike (to slow attacks) ->
Sunder Armor -> Rend 7)
If you have built according to the talent build above
the charge will build your rage some allowing you to wait that second or so
to get the Thunder Strike. After that I use Hamstring to keep them from
running (if they are prone to do so) and then Herioc Strike continually until
dead. 8)
If the target is too close to pull alone I usually do
this: 9)
Blood Rage -> Fire Crossbow/Gun -> Rend ->
Battle Shout -> Heroic Stirke 10)
If I suspect it will be a longer fight I choose to wait
and hit the target with Thunder Strike and/or Sunder Armor. 11)
Another talent to build regardless of profession is
cooking and first aid. As a warrior you will take the brunt of the
damage either alone of in a group because you will draw the majority of the
aggro. The first aid will allow you to create great bandages and
anti-venoms as you gain in the ability. I suggest cooking only for the
recipes that help you gain stamina. As a low level warrior I would eat
an herb-baked egg before a fight to give me the hp boost from the
stamina. It does help. Also if you do not take herb/alc as a
profession I suggest spending a couple of silver on potions to boost defense,
strength, and healing because they will come in handy. Submitted by Chris
