World of Warcraft Warriors are anything but your traditional hack and slash, damage taking tanks as they're portray in many other games that I have played. Warriors in WoW are able to take on 2 different roles, one is your traditional tanking role, the other being DPS role. Generally speaking Warriors are amazing at both roles, and which role you want to play all depends on which talent spec you choose to go.
Warrior Talent Specs
There 3 unique talent tree for the Warrior in Word of Warcraft, and they are Arms, Flury, and Protection. However, with that being said Arms and Flury Warriors are more or less similar since they’re both DPS Warriors, the only difference between this two is that Flury Warriors are able to dual wield 2 weapons and Arms cannot.
Arms - While the Arms Warrior is great for dealing damages, but if you closely compare to them to Flury Warriors, Arms Warriors will usually come short on DPS. One of the key differences between the Arms Warrior and the Flury Warrior is that Arms Warrior specializes in two hand weapons, while Flury Warriors are good with dual weapons. Many Warriors who plays the Arms build are usually PvP players, since Arms Warrior is arguably the best PvP build for the Warrior class.
Flury - Flury Warriors are Gladiators, and sort of like the Rogue class where attack speed and high critical rate determines their overall DPS. Unlike Arms Warriors, Flury Warriors are able to dual wield two single hand weapons, allowing them to deal smaller but quicker damages to their enemies.
Protection - Protection Warriors is for players who likes to take on the leading role in party, dungeons, or raids. As a protection Warrior you'll have many skills or abilities that will greatly improve your overall defensive abilities, as well as be able to protect your group members from being killed with your taunts and protection skills. The downside to playing a Protection Warrior is the slow leveling speed compare since they have very low DPS compare to Flury and Arms Warriors. However since Protection Warriors are tanks, and they’re usually highly in demand for dungeons, you will have a much shorter queue with the dungeon finder.
Stances
Other than the 3 core talent of Flury, Arms, and Protections, Warriors are also able to use 3 different stances that is vital to the overall game play. The 3 stances for the Warrior are Battle Stance, Defensive Stance, and Berserker Stance.
Here is how stances work; at any moment whether you're in combat or not your Warrior is able to use 1 out of 3 stances that he has. Now, depending on the stance you have currently activated, some of your abilities will be enhanced while some will be hindered by the stances. Additionally, there are certain skills that can only be used if the required stance is in used.
Battle Stance - Your very first and basic stance you're going to have is called the Battle stance. Unlike the other two stance Battle stance is relatively a neutral stance. This means that when Battle stance is activated I will not really hinder any of your core skills or abilities.
Defensive Stance - Your 2nd stance as a Warrior is going to be a defensive stance which will improve all your tanking abilities. The problem with defensive stance is that unless you're playing a Protection Warrior it is pretty useless.
Berserk Stance - The Berserker stance is going to be your 3rd and final stance as a Warrior. It is a great stance for DPS role Warrior as it greatly increases damages of most of your attacking abilities. Personally, I would highly recommend using this stance until you are level 85 especially if you're playing a Flury or Arms Warrior.
