My experience with Warriors in WoW has been bad to say the least. It’s sad to say especially since the first character I ever made in the game was a Tauren Warrior. I can remember back in Vanilla WoW, struggling to just fight a single mob. Of course, I was completely new to the game and picked what I still consider, one of the hardest classes to level. (I know most of you will disagree but it’s my memories!) I eventually got the hang of the class while I approached Thousand Needles. I was soon unsubscribing to WoW and deleting my Warrior from existence. Of course I came back a few months later to try an Undead Mage but I knew I could never overcome all of the hate I had for that damn cow. To be honest, thinking back now, my Talent Trees were probably a mess. I barely knew what professions were, can’t imagine Talent Trees being my strong point.
As I continue to play Alliance, I’ve been trying to create new classes I haven’t had the chance to play while on the Horde side. As I looked through the classes, I decided the choices were between Shaman, Druid and Warrior. I think I must have misclicked, because I found myself in the Gnome starting area with a fresh Warrior. I felt a cold wind blow through my room and loud crashes on lightning smack my roof. There was nothing more terrifying to me, than playing a Warrior. I took a deep breathe and started off on my leveling but something weird happened. Something I wasn’t expecting at all to be honest.
I loved playing a Warrior.
As of right now, I just dinged 17, a level not even soon enough to know if I will enjoy this class in the later stages but I can’t imagine why I wouldn’t. I love charging through leveling areas. I love building up a ton of rage off of critters and running into a ton of mobs. Something happened over this past week and I may have found a place for Warriors in my heart. I’ve been getting a lot of grieve over me being a Gnome and I’d just like to say.. STOP IT. I have an army of Dwarves and the other Alliance races didn’t really stick out to me.
I do hope that my attitude towards Warriors continues to improve and that once I hit cap, I will never have to think about my terrible leveling experiences of the past. I’m glad my rage went hate, to being displayed on a bar.

I love my warrior as well though I am leveling her through pvp. Of course I’m always at the lower level bracket and I don’t feel like leveling her unless I get some heirloom items to help the leveling. But being a lowest level character in my bracket and still stop the *9s from stealing the flag in WSG is kinda fun.

I’m glad you learned to love your warrior!
It took me a LONG time to learn to love mine. I had many false starts with leveling Prot but as soon as I switched to Arms… LOVED IT. I could blow through anyplace and any number of mobs and come out with hardly a scratch.
Killing Machine, that was my name.
