Plate-armored fighters fueled by rage – straightforward, powerful in melee and one of the iconic tanks.

Updated 30 October 2026Checked for patch 12.1.52 sources

Warriors are masters of weapons and battle. They charge into combat, build Rage by fighting and spend it on powerful attacks.

Specializations

  • Arms (melee DPS) – a big two-handed weapon and heavy hits.
  • Fury (melee DPS) – dual-wield two weapons for a fast, furious playstyle.
  • Protection (tank) – a shield-and-sword tank that blocks and leaps into the fight.

How it plays

Rage builds as you deal and take damage, so Warriors want to be in the thick of it. Charge and Heroic Leap keep you in melee, and the class brings group buffs like Battle Shout.

Who it suits

  • Players who want a straightforward melee class.
  • Anyone who wants to tank with a classic sword-and-board style.
  • Fans of the iconic warrior fantasy.
