WoW Classes: Warrior
In World of Warcraft, Warriors are often viewed as the unspoken leader of the group, as it usually falls upon them to incur strategies and direct team mates, and as a result often draw a lot of attention from the enemy. Warriors are one of three pure dps classes and they are also one of two classes that do not use mana. Instead they make use of a 'rage' meter which gradually fills as the Warrior is attacked. Warriors put out very high dps and if they are attacked then they have more rage to do more damage (many people call this "feeding them rage"). This marries very well with the fact that Warriors have high armour and resilience from the outset. Warriors also have an amazing ability called Mortal Strike. Mortal Strike reduces the amount of healing done on the target by 50%. This means that enemy healers have to spend much more time and mana keeping their teammates alive. To round off, Warriors also have great anti crowd control spells and abilities, which means there is only a very small window in which they can be targeted with negative status ailments.
Paladins and Warriors have been one of the most apparent synergies in the Arenas. Both classes wear plate (most protective armor) so there are no weak spots to melee on the team. The Paladin and the Warrior both have an array of stuns and defensive abilities that make them hard to kill. The Warrior is also greatly complimented by the paladin through Blessing of Freedom and allows Warriors to move without fear of getting rooted or snared, which is the biggest weakness to Warriors. The Warrior also meshes with Paladins well because Mortal Strike makes the opponents healers have to use more mana and time to keep the Warriors target alive.
Also, Warrior and Shaman team-ups have become increasingly prominent in recent games. Combining the windfury totem of a Shaman with the already impressive dps of the Warrior means their attack capabilities are extended ever further. The Shamans Heroism buff works even better with Warriors and is magnified when they also have a windfury totem. This means the Warrior not only is hitting harder but also attacking faster. Finally, the Shaman can negate any protective buffs used against a Warrior's victim, leading to a chance for extremely quick take-downs.
