The Warrior's Talent Guide & Loot List

Warlord (Arms Warrior):

Here is the undisputed most popular warrior build. Find big 2-hand weapon with a high maximum damage, load up on +STR and +crit and watch your foes go down with lightning speed. Your weapon choice will determine which 5 points you place in the corresponding weapon talents in the arms tree (axe, sword, etc.). Some warriors will swap out the points from improved hamstring and place them in improved heroic strike, charge, and/or two-handed weapon specialization. Before patch 1.8's change to the debuff limit, many end-game warriors would not place any points into Deep Wounds->Impale and the alternate build can be seen here.

Berserker (Fury Warrior) Dual Wield:

Once laughed at, the build has been getting love in just about every patch; more and more warriors are discovering the joy, and power, of this build. There are more options when it comes to talents here. The title talent goes deep into the fury tree to maximize your damage potential. Some variations will be moving some points between the two trees, in the fury tree some will want improved execute, while I've seen others strip down the fury tree to 31 points and go for the deep wounds path in the arms tree. One of the many alternative builds can be seen here.

Berserker (Fury Warrior) 2Hand:

2hand fury is also a good build, Bloodthirst as a instant attack increases your chance to proc flurry much higher than you do with Dual Wield. Using a slow 3.8 all you need to do is get a couple of Critical hit and you will have flurry on the entire fight but with Dual Wield you need to costantly get a critical hit to keep flurry going 100%. This make itemization a bit easier with 2hander users as you dont really as much as % to Crit and % to Hit as Dual Wield users. Improved Cleave is important for a 2H fury build as a critical hit will proc flurry, and with Deathwish on stacked with Enrage your Deepwounds will do tremendous amount of damage much higher than a Mortal Strike warrior could ever hope for.

Warder/Wardress (Protection Warrior):

If you're going to be the master tank for your end-game guild you'll probably want to at least try out a protection spec. Don't expect to be a good grinder, PvPer, or quest/leveler with this build, but if you play your protection warrior properly, you'll be just as desirable as a good healer. Most meatshields go 31 defensive and the rest in arms and a little fury (tactical master is almost a must for any warrior build) as seen in the title build. Some warriors will go the bloodrage->last stand route (very situational, but relatively cheap), while other will drops some points from toughness to one-hand specialization and use improved heroic strike for aggro generation. One of the many alternative builds can be seen here.

Last Update: 10.24.05

This loot list is dedicated for helping you gear up your warrior as best as possible. This list includes all loot up to, but not including, patch 1.6 items(1.7 coming soon, 1.8 later) end-game content (Molten Core, Onxyia, ect...). The list is split into the following parts:
  • Instance Loot & Notable Instance Quest Rewards
  • Warrior Quests
  • BoE World Drop Loot
  • Crafted Loot
  • The Valor Set Compilation
  • Sample DPS build using MS
  • Sample tanking build
  • Fast Fury-Friendly Weapons
  • Fire Resist Gear
  • NEW: Warrior Talent Guide
Some abbreviations used:
  • BoE: Bind on Equip
  • BoP: Bind on Pickup
  • 1h: One-Hand (Can be used in either main or Off-Hand)
  • MH: Main-Hand Only
  • OH: Off-Hand Only
  • 2h: Two-Hands
  • (B): Boss NPC - Level Hidden
Warriors, although a moderately difficulty class to get started, bloom into a fantastic end-game class. Warriors have a solid party roll (tanking), are an excellent DPS class with the right gear and talents, and a awesome PvP combatant. Some say that warriors are overpowered, but IMHO the warrior is a well-balanced class that I hope other classes can be adjusted to.

About the only real complaints, that directly blooms from the 1.8 patch, is the change to instant attacks, and the global cooldown with weapon switching (which IMHO is a well balanced change). Although it is generally still preferable to use instant attacks with slow, high damage weapons, no longer should you simply dismiss fast weapons. Also the dual-welding fury warrior seems to be getting stronger and stronger with each patch in PvE, but still does not measure up with the mortal strike arms warrior in PvP.

Since there can be many distinct warrior play style and builds there is a lot of gear to choose from. The 3 most common builds in my experience are the Mortal Strike arms builds using slow 2-handed weapons, the fast dual wield fury build, and the tanking warrior. Each build will have different gear pieces and at the end of this list is a sample guide for 2 of possible paths. There are some intentional items I've left out (i.e.. Barmans Shanker, Felstriker, etc...) due to either their hotly contested status or limited use in an alternative build (RIP 2-handed fury warriors).

Please note: This list is by no means a "warrior's have exclusive rights to this" equip list. Please be considerate of your group members and respect loot rules. Most of the higher-end items are useful to multiple classes and there may be items listed here that, although useful on a warrior, are possibly more effective in another classes hands.

Sample DPS MS Build

Here is the cookie-cutter arms tree mortal strike warrior, that although I detest it for its pervasiveness, is one of the top builds for a reason.

Fire Resist Gear

Although some people debate the need for globs of fire resists for Molten Core/Onxyia, it seems foolish to not try to at least get some fire resist even if you are never going to be tanking anything. There are modifiers to any type of uncommon (green) items that can give you fire resists, but you should try to shoot for plate that has more then just +FR on it.
