Hi all,
My warrior is lvl 43 and I lose like every 8 out of 10 pvp fights :(
In pve my warrior gives me lots of fun. Sometimes the mob my lvl drops in 4 swings when my mortal strike crit and the mob was unlucky to dodge the second swing.
Things change entirely when I charge on other player. I keep on missing, non criting (even imp overpower tend not to crit at all), thus I have no rage for further strikes and I end up with my face melted runing back to my corps. I got ashamed by priest 3 lvl lower then me, lock and shaman 2 lvl lower, and others to not list them all :( sometimes I manage to blow some rogues head off but I know how much they suck against warriors since I got one.
So please, someone tell me if this win-loses ratio will ever come close to 50-50 or I should just put my 11 points in fury, rest in protection tree and not going anywhere but instances.
My current build is 31/2/0 and i use Bonechewer (polearme).
Thanks in advance for any advice

I'm also a lvl 43 warrior, and have a similar problem. I have found that your stance has a lot to do with how well you PvP. Defencive stance, I've found, works best for casters due to shield slam. I just went up agains a 45 prot Priest (still lost) but it was a really close match. Battle stance for rogues and hunters. Charge then Hamstring hunters to keep them still. Rend on rogues to keep them from vanishing and thunder clap to bring them out of stealth.
Another thing I've been thinking about doing is setting up macros to respec me in a hurry. Go from shield & defencive stance to duel wield & battle stance.
Like I said I'm still working on my methods, so if someone else has better advice, take it.

You don't pick a stance and stay in it for the fight. No one stance is better against any opponent (except defensives stance VS mages at 70, spell reflect ftw). You're probably going to lose most of the time at the lower to mid levels. You don't have enough talent points to get over the basic problems that a warrior has. And you don't yet have all your skills. Do bgs until you can get the pvp trinket, you will probably be using it all the way to level 70, when you get the upgraded version. You should also put the 3 points into tactical mastery. To have access to all your skills you need to continually change stances, and only have 10 rage after you switch is a good way to get killed. You should always keep a sword and shield handy for your defensive stance skills. you can grab the mod "stance sets" i believe its called, it will change your weapons when you switch stances automatically. If you are missing a lot, try to get +hit gear i guess, but you won't find much at lower levels. If i was to make another warrior i would probably completely skip pvp until around level 60.
