Warriors are one of the best melee in TBC with incredible sustained damage, great mobility through Charge and Intercept, and strong crowd control. The infamous mace stun from Deep Thunder combined with Mortal Strike's healing reduction makes Arms Warriors a dominant force in arena.
Warrior requires mastering stance dancing, rage management, and weapon swapping. Knowing when to use Spell Reflection, maintaining Mortal Strike uptime, and fishing for Improved Hamstring roots separates good warriors from great ones.
