RECOMMENDED
Starter Warrior builds
Editorial picks from the beta trees —
load, tweak, make them yours.
-
Solo Leveling — Arms 41 / Fury 10
Mortal Strike at level 40 with two-handers. Take Improved Rend and Deep Wounds early, weave Improved Slam between swings, let the new Bloodthrill feed your rage, ride Sweeping Strikes for two-mob pulls, finish with Cruelty and Unbridled Wrath in Fury.
-
Dungeon Tank — Protection 45 / Fury 6
Shield Slam plus the new Bastion talent for mitigation scaling. Defiance holds aggro in dungeons; Master of Defense and Focused Rage spend the points the old Shield Block and Taunt talents used to. Cruelty and Booming Voice smooth out the downtime.
-
Dual-Wield Fury DPS — Fury 43 / Arms 8
Bloodthirst core with Flurry uptime from Dual Wield Specialization. The new Raging Blows and Precision replace the retired Battle Shout talents; Death Wish lines up with boss damage windows.

What is new for Warrior in WoW Forever compared to Classic? +
The live beta trees carry 10 brand-new Warrior talents (Spearing Strike, Bloodthrill, Weaponmaster, Boundless Rage, …), 35 changed, 1 moved and 7 unchanged across your Arms / Fury / Protection trees, plus 9 Classic talents retired from the trees. See the change list above for details.
Do Warrior talent rules change in WoW Forever? +
The framework is pure Classic: 51 points, tier gates at 5 points per row, prerequisites must be filled before points go in, and dependent talents block removal. This calculator enforces all of it.
