If you enjoy tanking and having most of the responsibility in a raid, then the WoW warrior might be the best class for you. However, they can be frustrating to level and take a lot of time. They also have no ability to heal themselves. However, there is the advantage now of having dual talents so you no longer have to be stuck in a particular role once you reach the maximum level.

The WoW Warrior differs from all the other classes in the game in a number of ways. Most notably, instead of using mana or energy, they use a system called rage. As a warrior fights, rage is built up to a maximum of 100 and this is then spent on a number of special abilities which you learn as you level up.

The other two specifications allowed for warriors are arms and fury which are both optimized for DPS. Choosing one of these talent trees can make the warrior a powerful killing machine and coupled with plate armor, warriors can be amongst the strongest classes available. Arms/fury hybrid specifications are especially popular for leveling and optimized DPS.

You can choose to play as a warrior in any race in world of Warcraft except for the blood elves. Warriors do not have a particularly steep learning curve hence there are quite popular amongst newbies.

Warriors also have the advantage of being able to play in any race except for blood elves. Partly because of this, they are also popular for people who are new to the game and they also have a fairly easy learning curve as well.

If you are thinking of choosing a WoW warrior, then make sure that you are comfortable with tanking is this is generally what you will be expected to do once you reach the maximum level.
