Warrior

Now, watch them attack me. Pitiful! Do they think to take

vengeance for their fallen? Do they come to challenge ME?
I, who have won a hundred wars? I, who stood alone
against thousands and still shouted for my enemies to
come? No, these saurok will crumple before me like paper
before the flame!
— Skeer the Bloodseeker
A human in clanging plate armor holds her shield high
before her as she charges toward the massed kobolds. A
night elf behind her, clad in studded leather armor, peppers
the kobolds with arrows loosed from his exquisite bow. The
dwarf nearby shouts orders, helping the two combatants
coordinate their assault to the best advantage.
An orc in chainmail interposes his shield between the
ogre's club and his companion in a swift action, knocking
the deadly blow aside. His companion, a blood elf in scale
armor, swings two scimitars in a blinding whirl as she
circles the ogre, looking for a blind spot in its defenses.
A gladiator fights for sport in an arena, a master with his
trident and net, skilled at toppling foes and moving them
around for the crowd's delight, and his own tactical
advantage. His opponent's sword flares with blue light an
instant before she sends lightning forth to smite him.
Ancient Practice
For as long as war has raged, heroes from every race have
aimed to master the art of battle. Warriors combine
strength, leadership, and a vast knowledge of arms and
armor to wreak havoc in glorious combat. Some protect
from the front lines with shields, locking down enemies
while allies support the warrior from behind with spell and
bow. Others forgo the shield and unleash their rage at the
closest threat with a variety of deadly weapons.
The warrior’s battle cries embolden friends and leave
foes cowering in fear. With legendary precision, warriors
target the smallest gaps in armor and slice at ham-
strings in a blur of steel. Every dragon slain,
corrupted tyrant toppled, and demon
banished from Azeroth has trembled in
the face of these lords of war.
Warriors are the quintessential fearless
fighters on the battlefield, and their pure martial
prowess inspires courage in allies and despair in
enemies. Experts in all manner of melee weaponry and
possessing incredible physical strength and skill, Warriors
are perfectly suited to serve as frontline combatants and
battlefield commanders.
Well-Rounded Specialists
Warriors learn the basics of all combat styles. Every
warrior can swing an axe, fence with a rapier, wield a
longsword or a greatsword, use a bow, and even trap foes in
a net with some degree of skill. Likewise, a warrior is adept
with shields and every form of armor. Beyond that basic
degree of familiarity, each fighter specializes in a certain
style of combat. Some concentrate on protection their
allies from mortal blows, some on fighting with two
weapons at once, and some prefer a single large weapon
able to be wielded with extraordinary force. This
combination of broad general ability and extensive
specialization makes fighters superior combatants on
battlefields and in dungeons alike.
