Smasshman's guide for NS warriors...lol

[presario]

Almost every other class except warrior has a guide for gearing them here in NS, so I though that warrs should have one too as they are pretty popular class at the moment.

1st, some basic info:

Warrior's basic stats are str, sta, hit, crit rating, armor pen and agi. Agi is good but not necessary. DO NOT take haste becouse the lower your attack speed is, the lower your instants are.
Some people take AP instead of str which is not a big mistake but still. Str beats AP becouse last time I checked, 1 str gives 2 AP AND increases your shield block rating.

What it comes to gear, for PvP use season four gear. Even though warriors have plate, you're very squishy in PvE gear, and the hits/crits doesn't make up the resi loss imo.

2nd, gearing up/enchanting:

For non-donor warriors, meta gems should be Swift Skyfire Diamond, (Swift Skyfire Diamond - Item - World of Warcraft) Potent Unstable Diamond, (Potent Unstable Diamond - Item - World of Warcraft) or Enigmatic Skyfire Diamond, (Enigmatic Skyfire Diamond - Item - World of Warcraft) please note that this a meta gem I find good, I can't promise if it's really good.

Imo donor warriors should use Chaotic Skyfire Diamonds only. (Enigmatic Skyfire Diamond - Item - World of Warcraft) When you multiply 3% increased critical damage with what, 16? That's 36% more dmg from crits.

Normal gems should be Inscribed Pyrestones, (Inscribed Pyrestone - Item - World of Warcraft) retail warriors use these so you should too.

Leg enchantment, Nethercobra Leg Armor. (Nethercobra Leg Armor - Item - World of Warcraft)
Shoulder enchantment, Might of the Scourge. (Might of the Scourge - Item - World of Warcraft)
Head enchantment, Glyph of Ferocity. (Glyph of Ferocity - Item - World of Warcraft)

Cloak: 12 agi.
Chest enchant: 6 all stats.
Bracers: 12 str.
Gloves: 15 str.
Boots: 9 sta and minor speed increase, (Stacks with with run speed+ meta gem. aka Boar's speed) Surefooted.
Rings: 4 all stats.
2h weapon: Executioner, Savagery, Mongoose.
1h weapon: Executioner, Mongoose.
Shield: Shield Block.

Rings: Guardian's Band of Triumph (Guardian's Band of Triumph - Item - World of Warcraft) and Band of Ruinous Delight. (Band of Ruinous Delight - Item - World of Warcraft)
Necklace: Guardian's Pendant of Triumph. (Guardian's Pendant of Triumph - Item - World of Warcraft)
Trinkets: Medallion of the Horde/Alliance (Medallion of the Horde - Item - World of Warcraft) and Battlemaster's Cruelty. (Battlemaster's Cruelty - Item - World of Warcraft)

3rd, talents:

Best spec for PvP is arms/fury. Weapon Specializations is highly needed to beat anything plus Second Wind is a must. This is the spec I used when I still had non-donor gear.

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Sword Specialization beats Axe Specialization becouse of resilience. I'm not 100% sure if resi actually lowers your chance to crit someone.
Mace Specialization is good too, but I don't like it.

Choose the specialization you like the most.
You don't actually need to spec for MS becouse the trainer who resets your talents, can also teach MS for free.
With both Second Wind and Blood Craze, your HP regeneration speed is just insane.

I specced for Stance Mastery becouse switching stances took me to zero rage, and GM wouldn't teach me a skill which lets me keep 10 rage when switching stances. (Trainers teach it in retail... *HINT*)

4th, macros/keybinds:

Spell Reflection does work but you need a macro for it becouse taking your one-handed & shield from your backpack and equiping them takes way too long.

This is the current macro I use, you have to switch stances manually.

#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/equip Brutal Gladiator's Slicer (Brutal Gladiator's Slicer - Item - World of Warcraft)
/equip Brutal Gladiator's Shield Wall (Brutal Gladiator's Shield Wall - Item - World of Warcraft)
/cast Spell Reflection

You can choose if you want to use this one, I use it and it works for me just fine.

#showtooltip Overpower
/equip Devastating Madness
/cast Overpower

You should aim to keybind everything you need when you're fighting someone. Especially keybinding stances and shouts can save your life.



EDIT: TYPO IN TEH PICTURE!
I might add more, if I remember something.
Hope this helps.
I'm open for corrections.

Lol nice wall of text.

[Kurree]

Stun resist does work + Boots enchants (Boar speed) Is 9 stamina and Minor speed.

P.S: Nice guide

[Vaine]

Nice guide. lets hope you dont get flamed, leave carebears and not go back to it for this very reason

Really nice guide, gogo

[Breaksthings]

Great guide, Smassh. I've been looking all over for that Spell Reflect macro.

[kakashy]

nice guide smash.. but still we have different way to play warrior so i get meny things different .. never stopped learning as warrior and this is very nice help

[Ryonis]

very nice. personally i like putting execute to my middle mouse button.

[Ryonis]

you also forgot to add skillz.

[Deathmaster]

Good one but Furyn's Guide is better tbh Furyn is the strongest warrior i have ever saw (even with his non donor gear he pwn all xD)

he taught me some skills and now i pwn like him but he is still stronger

[Deathmaster]

Also talents can be better than this...

[Ellyndor]

Warriors are hard to play.
to many spells, not enough bars.
and my pathetic eyesight means i have crap hand-eye coordination so i can't use keybinds appart from from 1,2,3 and maybe q+e effectively
