Warriors, a few simple questions.Follow

#1 Dec 13 2004 at 12:22 AM Rating: Decent
I just bought WoW and I have been switching classes like crazy. I have played all casters till about level 6-7, but it doesn't really fit my style. I am thinking about a warrior because I like running into the middle of a fight and taking hits. I want to be a mostly PvE warrior but I have heard quite a few people say that to be a warrior you have to be well equipped. Is it hard to equip a warrior as a new player? I will do any quests that I can find, but will that be enough to keep him equipped? I don't want to get to level 20+ and realize that I am not equipped well enough to tank.

Also, how hard is a warrior to play? Do warriors usually have to pull? Is it hard to keep aggro as a warrior spec'd for PvE?

Last question, does anyone have a build for a good PvE warrior? I think I will like to group most of the time, but I haven't even been in a group yet. Doesn't seem to be any groups for levels 1-10.

As Nonlinear said if you just do quests and a few instances you will be fairly well equiped. However to get the BEST equipment you will want to check the AH. The Hordes AH is in Ogrimmar, there is a neutral one in Gadgetzan and I don't know where the alliance's is. The only problem with that is money. However if you take an hour or so and kill some humanoids you will get money fairly quickly (both through the copper/silver drops and the item drops), or you could do instances and sell the items from there.

Anyway, the short answer is no it's not that hard to stay equiped.

Ok, to answer some of your questions. As nonlinear and Hatterson have said, it's not hard at all to stay equipped, just takes more precidance then it does for, say, a mage.

As for pulling, no, let the rouges and rangers pull. your job as a warrior will be a tank, wiether you go defensive or offensive, face it, plate mail protects better than cloth. you don't have to take all defensive tanks or switch to a sword and shield to be a tank, either, though it does help. A warrior with a 2 handed axe, a high crit rate and deep wounds, not to mention taunt, rend, and a hundred other abilities that gain hate quick will pretty much make you the tank wiether you want to be or not.

As for your PvE question...call me a noob if you wan't, but I'm not quite sure what that means. If it's the same as PvP, I can't answer, I've been avoiding PvP myself.

PvE is Player vs Environment. Basically its doing quests and fighting mobs not players. Personally I make most of my eq from blacksmithing and what I can't make I get on the AH.
