Warrior Talent Calculator

Rotations & Guide · Builds · Abilities · Talent Calculator · Changes vs Classic

Warriors are rage-fuelled melee fighters that excel as tanks or two-handed/dual-wield damage dealers. Forever makes Tactical Mastery baseline so stance dancing keeps rage, reworks Slam into an 18 sec cooldown strike (Improved Slam no longer resets your swing), and adds Spearing Strike for dismounting and hitting giants.

Arms (Melee DPS)

Arms is a two-handed spec built around Mortal Strike, Overpower and big crits via Impale and Deep Wounds. Three Weaponmaster talents reward axes/polearms (crit), maces/staves (armor ignore) or swords (extra attacks). With baseline Tactical Mastery you can dance into Battle Stance for Overpower without dumping all your rage.

Fury (Melee DPS)

Fury is the dual-wield raid spec, stacking Cruelty, Flurry and Enrage while Bloodthirst and Whirlwind do the heavy lifting. Forever's Slam plus Improved Slam gives Fury a faster extra strike that no longer interrupts auto attacks. Heroic Strike queuing is your rage dump.

Protection (Tank)

Protection warriors tank with shield in Defensive Stance, using Shield Slam, Revenge and Sunder Armor for threat. Forever's Bastion talent adds 10% damage with a shield equipped, making sword-and-board threat much stronger than in Classic. Shield Block keeps Revenge and Shield Specialization rage flowing.
