Killer Guides’ Warrior Guide
- 7/10

Guide last updated: August 2009 for patch 3.2
Review last updated: September 4, 2009
Guide suitable for: Beginner - intermediate players

The warrior guide from Killer Guides’ is a 179 page ebook intended to teach you the ins and outs of the warrior class.

Revamped for WotLK, this guide is very accurate and up to date with the latest patch and with no huge warrior changes incoming it should remain useful for a long time.

As a warrior, you basically have two choices: deal damage or tank. I think this guide divides its attention well between the two roles so you’ll know what to do however you want to play your warrior.

 Here’s a list of what the guide covers and my comments in parentheses: 

• Character creation (some advice on what race and server to choose) 

• Stats and formulas (An important discussion of which stats and attributes to focus on for different purposes. Get this wrong and you\’ll be laughed at) 

• Warrior fundamentals (This is where you learn to play. Tanking, DPSing, stances, rage management and more is covered here.) 

• PvP (Death Knight have been added, but otherwise not updated for WotLK. Most things still hold true. though.)

• Talents (A thorough discussion of every talent; crucial information since it determines your warrior\’s strength. Some talent builds weren\’t entirely accurate, though.) 

• Gear guide (Never run out of ideas for gear again! A comprehensive list of gear for levels 15-80, obtainable through instances, quests or crafting/buying so it should fit every play style. Very cool chapter since gear is so important to a warrior. Also divided into DPS and prot gear for end-game.) 

• 1-80 leveling guides (Points you in the right direction, but don’t expect it to be nearly as detailed as a dedicated leveling guide) 

• Gold guide (As above) 

Overall, I think the guide does show you how to become a capable warrior. 

If I had to complain… 

The guide doesn’t address the warrior class quests. The PvP strategies are somewhat outdated, though still useful. The gameplay strategies could have been a bit more specific.

Conclusion

In the end, if you’re a new or progressing warrior, I think this will be a great help. Even high level players that want to learn a new role, like tanking in raids should benefit. A strong 7/10.
