In this video I talk about the warriors and how powerful they are in the Warcraft lore. Going through some history and the notable races tied to this class. After that I explain how exactly they work in the lore and what are their abilities compared to the in-game ones. Feel free to leave your thoughts on what you think about about the warriors and how powerful they are in the world of warcraft franchise. Do keep in mind that this video series is just my own opinions based on the available lore facts.

Mage: I've got arcane magics. Druid: I can shape-shift and make plants grow. Warrior: ...And I've got a sword, and I'm fucking pissed.

[@bigmonke2899]

And I have enough expertise to wield all kinds of weapons and I am the most skilled with it. I don't need stealth or magic to do massive damage. I can wear the best armour that can protect me from magic. I am not bound to cast times and can move freely and fast over the battlefield

Warriors will always be the most badass and fun. I mean they let you feel like you can depend on yourself without any magic or pets to achieve glory... Their simplicity IS their key factor

@@demonpride1975 Idk about that....(butchery, skinning, tracking, marksmanship etc. What does warrior need to know? They are just meatheads.)

[@raziel6304]

You keep applying real life metaphysics to a universe where people who call themselves warriors can jump over 40 meters and dropping so hard they break the ground (and dont jump with the "game mechanics" excuse, abilities are themed to each class, so they do have lore relevance; its why you dont see a warrior throwing frostbolts and mages doing meele) taking these levels into consideration we can assume that these races are extremely resilient when compared to a real life human (yes, humans in wow are stronger than real life ones) so what may seem like a disadvantage in the form of magic to you may not actually be to them, they live in a world where magic is all over the place, they HAVE to adapt to it or they wouldn't have survived this long.

[@bigmonke2899]

If you would apply real physics in this ranking, then the Warrior would use the cast time of magic spells to throw a weapon that is in reality with cloth armour and all always deadly or he would take cover or he would simply dodge because spells are a lot slower than arrows. Ice bolts would simply break on the plate armour, firebolts can be blocked with a shield or something. If in reality a common mage attacks an common warrior, he would lose. It is also harder to master the art of magic than the art of combat. That's why there are so many warriors within the main heros of Azeroth, more than mages. Because you have to be very talented to be a great or master mage but you only have to do right training and have the right teachings to be a real warrior and not just a soldier.

[@thibautsonnet4214]

The main error I usually see in videos about warriors is that you don't make the difference between the common warrior/foot-soldier and the warrior class we play. The warriors we are playing are the peak of mortal physical condition and skill. They are war and weapon masters and strategists. They have the best battle instinct of all classes and the body to follow-up. They are people that have devoted them-selves to the art of war. They are not mere soldiers. As for any other classes, the warrior class is composed of exceptional individuals. As not anybody can become a mage, not anybody can become the kind of warrior we are playing.

[@nowelbobke1506]

Thibaut Sonnet truth

[@Needler13]

Aye, the warrior you play is more like The Hulk or Conan the Barbarian. Rage gives them more power, they heal faster than normal through cellular regeneration, their battle instinct is top peak and the strength of over 30 men.

[@BruceForte]

The warriors we play as are also well versed in psychological warfare and guerilla tactics, terrorising their foes with mighty roars and sudden flanks.

[@Needler13]

Also the warriors the player plays is vastly more magical than normal warriors. They legit heal through rage

[@SkurtavusGrodolfus]

Powerful the other classes may be, but when their spells and projectiles bounce off my armour, they'll understand that no amount of power can stop my axe from severing their head from their neck. Nothing is more powerful than a stout heart and a blade that strikes true. Warrior for Life.

[@Doronsmovies]

I apologize for the big delay with this video. Didn't have internet for about 4 days so it was impossible to record any footage. Also in regards to other classes, I will try to finish this series hopefully by the end of this year.

[@Kainpound]

hey Doronsmovies thanks for all the great content. I know you've got alot to cover but I'd love to see some new priest videos, it seems people have alot of misconceptions about them.

[@reynazane5900]

We are the weapon masters, we depend on our physical and inner strength, bravery, honor, pride, strong will, determination, loyalty... no magic can stand against this... don't underestimate our power, we are the war beasts, battleground is our playground :)

[@NoahWeisbrod]

I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention the human knights as a warrior subclass. There's nothing quite like a guy in 60 lbs of steel armor (or based on Warcraft armor, probably more like 200 lbs) charging at you on horseback.

[@Doronsmovies]

The main reason is because the video would have been an hour long as theres almost 10 different warrior types for each playable race. Also in the warcraft universe 260 lbs is nothing when you have a 1500lbs 10 feet tall tauren.

[@NoahWeisbrod]

Doronsmovies Okay. So you just had to pick a couple types. Understandable.

[@demonpride1975]

knights are completely different too warriors.

[@kabrozkabroz]

I just realized... they should allow a few more empty-appearance slots. Imagine a Tauren with no pauldrons, chestplate, gloves... just leg armor, hoof armor, and bracers. A FUCKING MINOTAUR BOI'S

[@Doronsmovies]

I always preferred to not have too much armor on orcs and tauren. Although armor would be their biggest strength since a 600kg, 3.5 meter tall tauren would be able to wear insanely heavy armor without breaking a sweat.

[@kabrozkabroz]

Doronsmovies yeah there'd be no point to all that muscle if they're not using it to wear more xD If WoW had one of those versatile skill level systems that's not necessarily better (like in skyrim/eso) Tauren would be OP with that heavy weight lifting. I mean imagine Tauren casters with plate armor xD

Amazing video Doron. I also loved your clear cut ranking in the video. Great editing on getting the many different trolls also. I was very impressed with the editing in this video.

[@M4XIUM]

"Trolls are especially special, They have naturally build-in regeneration" Sooo ummm not going to address how easily Voljin was taken out by a fel guard?

[@arawn1061]

M4xxY vol'jin was poisoned by our enemies

[@alexandercampbell9079]

Fel Poison

[@M4XIUM]

It was a single blade. Varian took two and it didn't show signs of him dying by the fel poison

[@buldren0101]

He was impaled completely by a blade with fel energy. Sure in gameplay demon attacks don't really affect us that much, but in lore fel energy feeds off of life, so it could definitely counteract Trolls' regeneration if the wound was lethal enough. As much as I hate Vol'jin dying the way he did, that's the way it went. I'm hoping that there's a way to bring him back, he does have the favor of Bwonsamdi, the Loa of death so maybe that will come into play later.

[@enjoydesu983]

Maybe trolls cant regenerate through fel poisoning?

[@partydean17]

Doron I've been looking forward to this video. And it's tough to argue but I think ya gotta give warriors of Azeroth more credit. It's a fantasy world their strength is super human at a certain level like the players. Plus magic armour that makes them bladestorming tanks can't be discounted just like a mags learning a spell that's within the world a warrior being strong enough to use this equipment in the world to balance it should be taken into consideration.

Honestly, if they gave body types in WoW, like beefy, to more fragile, i'd go orc, or even the berserker troll models would be very cool to play.

[@Kunori]

I don't know, I think warriors do still use magic, in a subtle way. It's the only way I can think of to explain Varian being able to apparently increase his mass enough to have impact on a fel reaver just moments after we saw another human warrior in full armor clang off it to no effect. Most of the playable races in warcraft have some sort of magical ancestry, from titan creations (humans, dwarves and gnomes) or elementals (orcs) or wild gods (tauren and pandaren (probably)) or so on, maybe warriors unconsciously tap into dormant abilities from that heritage somehow. Like, the Avatar ability was originally from Muradin in WCIII, and was clearly based on the same temporary titan boost that the dwarf racial is based on. You could say that when another race uses the ability they do something similar.

[@navyflyboy07]

Orcs are descended from the Collossals who are a titan creation of Aggramar to combat against the Wild Growth in Gorgrond.

[@demonpride1975]

ummmm his mass was increased because he was infused with the spirit of lo'gosh a warrior spirit.

Dude. Garrosh killed a mage/dragon with only a shard of glass while being shacked on all body parts. Magic doesnt give you a slight of hand what so ever against a skilled warrior.

He tricked Kairoz. In a 1v1 duel, Kairoz could literally eat Garrosh so please, check your facts...

[@KronosSupreme]

Ah you noticed Garrosh used a warrior ability called taunt and his cunning to defeat the dragon not his power. Remember most of the spells in game are not really spells. When a warrior for example taunts a target to attack it lore wise all he is doing is cursing and calling the guy out. Battlecry is just some fucking guy yelling something inspiring, not a spell.

You're wrong man....no one can be as strong as warriors and no one can beat them in melee fighting...the cool thing is that great warriors can survive to spells that would kill anyone else, just because of their strength or their armour.....they don't need undead or demon powers, and they are stronger than dk or dh....just think at grommash: thrall, one of the most powerful characters in wow lore, was not able to scratch mannoroth, and he fell down just because he hit his head on a rock; grommash, one of the greatest warriors in Warcraft story, because of his warrior strength, jumped so high that he reached the demon without being hit and he destroyed his enormous armor....or think at varian who killed a demon bigger than stormwind...

[@ANimouz]

Actually this video is quite innacurate. Especially with the new legion info. Warriors currently are so powerful to the point that a single leap can launch them several kilometers in the air. They are so strong that they can withstand a fall from kilometers dropping like a meteor with absolutely no side effects. Their strength is that of thousands of normal mortals and they are almost demi-god levels of pure strength. Arms warriors even though they might be a little weaker than Fury warriors are insanely powerful and have an unrivaled mastery of melee combat. When it comes to purely melee combat. NOBODY can beat a warrior face to face. Broxigar was a very good testament to this. And current warriors characters lore wise are stronger than Broxigar. Throw a DK, a DH, A paladin or anything. If they just stand and have a brawl against a warrior they will have their shit pushed it. This is why I love legion. Because it gave us a very good idea as to how powerful lore-wise we are as per class.

[@diostesso9819]

All of those are because of The Artifacts, you take godly weapons and no matter what class you are you would be powerful In game information is exaggerated or changed compared to actual lore (books, cinematics, etc etc) DH and DKs are both more than a match for them as DKs are just as strong and enhanced by necromantic magic and DHs are used to fighting opponents more than twice their size and Strength Of course though like all things it depends more on the individual than the class

[@kabrozkabroz]

Doran, watching your footage of this one, I'm wondering... Would you be capable of remaking the wrathgate cinematic in higher quality?? xD The cinematic doesn't hold up as well anymore to the newer models

[@Doronsmovies]

No way that would take a years worth of work. Also I think the reason for that is because before they did machinimas similar to what youtubers do and now they do it all in a 3d program so animations and the environment look a lot more natural.

[@kabrozkabroz]

Doronsmovies Yeah you're right, it's the only real explanation. It's still tragic though!

[@Reverberate_]

Old or not, that cinematic is still one of the most amazing, in my opinion. The old models don't even bother me. Putress's voice just makes it.

[@kabrozkabroz]

Some Putress did in fact make it perfect. And his contributions to the lore just make him a really cool character to think about. He cured the plague that occurred before wrath of the lich king and then he did this shit at the wrathgate. He's really cool. I just don't like that in the end he turned out to basically be the puppet of a dreadlord. It makes his death feel somewhat tragic imo. But while the cinematic is great, Bolvar's mouth and beard just ruin everything. The only old model that looks good enough in the cinematic is undead Bolvar, and Tirion, strangely enough. Putress looks great either way just because that's an awesome set to begin with though.

warriors can defeat any enemy, they just need a good weapon, they don't even need armor and what's more, if you give them an artifact weapon that has some kind of magic, and an artifact armor, it would be the most powerful class that ever existed because they would use weapon magic on each of their blocks and attacks

[@carlosIAAC]

As I said I love this show, but my wow main class warrior is the weakest class prob followed by rogues, wich makes me sad cause they are my favourite classes in-game ); Just like the fact that the good ones acomplish their fame with the disadvantage of not using any magic in a world full of it, wich is amazing! Nice work with the video!

[@Name.is2]

If a warrior is on the same level as a paladin, the warrior can't win, go read world of Warcraft Paragons. The part about the blood knights talks about how the paladin channels the light through them to empower them, like demon hunter & death knight they have magic that makes them surpass normal strength.

[@goncalopereira2110]

You forgot one thing Doron: Most warriors cover their body in full plate armor, almost impenetrable. Especially Protection warriors, are a nuisance to every class. The most talented of prot warriors (wielder of the Scale of Neltharion) could really match any polar of the other classes just due to his incredible defensive abilities, and mastery over weapons. Also warriors are the best at wielding weapons. That's something to take into consideration. And although magic is very powerful in Lore, there are obvious materials that ca utterly nulify that opr eve best any other material that their opponent uses as armor, such as the materials Helgar uses for his weapons. I do agree that Warriors are probably the most flexible of classes, in the sense of they can be as weak as a peasent, but they can also even wound titans, constructs or even become a one-man-army.

[@jodyboles8208]

their armor wont do anything vs being with high lvls of magic or ones with high armor vs high lvls of magic too like DK and pally. Lore wise they are pretty weak compare to others.

[@goncalopereira2110]

Jody Boles Specific armor with specific ways to nulify certain magics are very effective, as I said, warriors are the most power flexible class. Plus my main argument here was more against other plate armor users than magic really, but if you want an explanation then materials like Saronite help nulify certain magics and can be used in specific fights, but I'll give it to you that a destruction warlock would desintegrate most warriors. Also you're forgetting the factor "shields" and as I gave an exemple, the polar of a protection warrior would definetly give one hell of a fight against the Deathlord or even the Ashbringer. And btw, magic users in plate armor usually go so far. Paladins, for exemple, to be extremely effective need to wear certain types of armor, such as Mithril or Truesilver or in some cases purified saronite, metals that can easily channel the power of the Light. Dk's only use Saronite. And if a warrior is using, say, an Arcanite Bladebreaker, you will die unless you're a prot Pally.

[@jodyboles8208]

Billy -Elawhore- McBill Good luck killing Dk even more so a blood one that will drain your life away lol. Those armor can only do so much and since they dont have no real abilities like Dk and pally do then they just dont stand a chance regardless what you wear.

[@goncalopereira2110]

Jody Boles You are underestimating how powerful metals found on Azeroth are. And again, Truesilver and Saronite are not really that much of a big deal compared to something that's specifically made to surpass any material found on Azeroth (Arcanite Bladebreaker). Also you are forgeting that there are materials sturdier and fair exceptionally well against other magics,something that Paladins and Death Knights are limited (While Both classes can only wear certain types of materials, sometimes sacrificing protection, warriors can grab the strongest material without giving any fucks and make it into an impenetrable fortress). And do keep in mind most warrior polars are incredibely resillient, they won't just fall down or completely be rendered useless like most classes if they are hitted by a disease or having their life slowly being drained (How do blood dk's drain someone's life if their spells can't get past their armor? I mean, Blood Dk's don't ave the destructive power Warlocks have so I really have difficulty in trying to understand what would Blood Magic do to someone who's wearing full metal armor with additional reinforcements on the games and wearing a chainmail made by the same material as the plate armor wth a fair ammount of magical properties that can aid against other magic effects such as Blood magic). An exemple is Broxigar resisting the spells up to 3 Night elven sorcerers and he was wearing no armor whatsoever. Again, I'm not underestimating other classes and I do think warriors, on average, are kinda weak, but their polars have unique abilities, traits and skills that are the key to most victories. hence why they will surpass anyone in melee combat and even give some tough fights against magic users (especially trained prot warriors). By the way, I'll say again, the part where you are complaining is where I am talking about the wielder of the Scale of Neltharion and the Arcanite Bladebreaker argument was used to proove that warriors can receive weapons that are far mroe superior to Death Knight or Paladin metals. In terms of melee, they are obviously very powerful and are more flexible in choosing what they want to wear, but I do agree that they get utterly destroyed by classes such as the Mage or the Warlock with the exception, of the polar of the Protection Warrior.

[@jodyboles8208]

Billy -Elawhore- McBill you act like the armor resist magic entirely which is not the the case even more so if the magic is very powerful. Even the best armor will lessen the effect of magic at best when face against very strong magic even from pally and DK. Also Blood DK can drain your life because it doesnt block it entirely and the Dreadlord has Maw of the Damned. A weapon so strong that it can suck the life away from any being. Hell it was made to drain/kill Kil'jaeden. If its strong enough to drain the life of him then no armor will be enough to stop that blade haha. Even if you have great armor and have Arcanite Bladebreaker, it still wouldnt be enough compare to a DK or even a pally of the same level since they have so many buffs,healings and DKs bring able to weaken you with diseases and overall undead allowing them to fight harder then any warrior could ever dream. Besides they too have weapons that are strong if not stronger with powerful enchantment and runes to empower it beyond anything a weapon can be made out of. Overall the warrior is only as good as the armor/weapon they will along with skill too but DK has that along with tons of other things to make it almost unstoppable at its best compare to warriors.

[@Maroke21]

idk you got to cast spells first if a warrior is fast enough he can finish the fight before it starts just like in the wow movie it took some time before the mage could cast a spell and u got to remember that any caster has to focus on his spells which gives so extra moves for the warr

[@six2make4]

I know this is an old video, but I really do think too little credit was given to warriors. It seems you are comparing the average foot soldier to high mages for example. I mean you want to see the average mage, go to the broken isles and do the mage academy quest line. Yes they are ghosts from long past, but that used to be one of the most/if not THE most esteemed magic academy in the world. I would honestly put warriors higher, they are supposed to be the BEST fighters there are, while the DK, DM and Pally uses magic to support their fighting capabilities. Look up Varian and how much he accomplished and if your gonna say he is a lore character so he don't count... Fine, but then you gotta take out all the other lore characters as well for the other classes. While it's true that if a mage get a drop on the warrior they can probably win, that goes pretty much for anyone against anyone... The element of surprise is one of the most powerful in tactics. Oh as regards to DM's, most of them use glaives... A cutting weapon. Most warriors use plate and some even shield. Which means that it probably ain't gonna do much as a cutting weapon is literally the worst weapon to use against plate armor, except for maybe like a wet eel or something silly like that. Also a druid in animal form would probably get thrashed, they got little defensive capabilities as they have no armor and their weapons are their teeth and claws. Again, that would pretty much not work against plate and if the warrior can stand their ground and keep their heads cool it's pretty much GG. Oh and my main is a mage, before you call me a fanboy...

[@joseluisjensen1913]

You should do monks next!

[@mihajlobisenic8456]

Hey Doronsmovies what do you think of blizzcon 2016. legacy servers and nostralius situation?

[@klapacjuszanimomon8501]

J have a question .In lore who should win ? A troll warrior or orc warrior.J know that victory depends in most cases on experience but it two warriors with similar skills fought

[@CazaliEiben]

When are you doing this about monks?

[@MrUlf1337]

thank you Doron for showing who the best Character in the Lore is! Broxigar the Red!!! Best Person ever! I cried a little when he died. :(

[@arcaniteplays-blackdeath-5218]

I miss Bleed, would be cool if it was a stacking dot with more cut places or points to make a big bleed

[@extraterrestrial4597]

In a world where god level enemies & world ending scenarios r just another Tuesday, these guys wield axes & swords relying on their own strength & trainings From that alone u can see how badass warriors are

[@Eroll-dw8ex]

Gul'dan VS Grommash that we saw in WOD

[@neurohackstv5723]

Could you do monks next please?

[@alexmurphy8906]

Spell casters don't have that much of a advantage because you forgot charge which you mentioned they had and most of the time they are squished so you need to take that into consideration

[@Ehrathorn]

Well, in the lore spells aren't just instantly cast and require focus. most even tire out their caster after only a few spells. So if the warrior could avoid or simply survive the few hits.. they would be a very big threat to any caster. Also, you are compairing the warrior to ingame versions of those classes, in lore the average mage, priest or even druid know just a few spells. And healers require either prayer, or concentration for their heals to be used. Meaning the warrior could be all over them in seconds.

[@XrissXrow]

Maybe we can get a How Powerful Are Mages video?

[@immortaliserwow]

Next time in an arena"Oh, thank God, they have a warrior -piece of cake, boys ". He casts Bladestorm....alt+F4

[@Novatech1011]

please make a video How powerful are the mages.

[@alexgheorghita4583]

What's the outro song he uses?

[@RykersRange]

I think you overlook alot of the in-game abilities of the 'warrior'. It can ALL be explained with pure adrenaline and endorphines just pumped up and exaggerated to the point of.. Well, 'Fantasy'.

[@sjohn4134]

I mean I think it was pretty clear when thrall decided he no longer wanted to play by the rules...

[@vojtajech6805]

can you please make a video about Varian vs Arthas ???

[@Frosty-qg4bc]

Short answer Varian dead Arthas victorious (If it was undead Arthas) or else probably equal

[@Letgoit2]

no in the varian book it was stated that varian was always supurior than arthas in close combat (sword or bare hand) thats when they were still teens i guess? however its a diffrence if undead arthas is stronger than varian.

[@Kalimdori]

Hey dude, Sargeras is a Warrior, well i mean was in the past... now is a Fell-Infused Warror :D. And he defeated the Pantheon alone, and they are full of Spell casters :).

[@SwobyJ]

Warriors in this setting CAN be the VERY BEST. Problem is, the CLASS is usually LOW. That's what matters. Almost anyone can train to be a warrior, and almost every warrior is essentially fodder in batter, more meant to die than anyone else, but the ones that survive it all, or ensure their side's victory, or die the most glorious death - they were among the best. The warrior is the class that says that the battle is above all - it doesn't matter if you can (insert spell etc) if you still get countered and die.

[@Kalimdori]

Dude, anyone can be anything, dedication is all that is needed.

[@SwobyJ]

Tell that to the dead Demon Hunter trainees.

[@Kalimdori]

Well... they weren't dedicated enough :). Groom Hellscream One-Shoted Manaroth... Twice :D and he wasn't a Demon Hunter. And Illidan got knocked out for a little by a random Pit Lord on his raid on Mardum, in Harbrigen Illidan.

[@SwobyJ]

Uh, ok.

[@samhr5935]

what about grommash who defeated mannroth ? his strength was close to death knight .also he defeated one of the strongest druids .

[@francescogiacovelli8468]

muhammad you're a bit wrong.....first: don't listen people who talk about dk or dh stronger than warriors. They are powerful, sure, but in melee fighting warriors are the best; Second: cenarius was not a druid, but a demigod, and, I don't like to say it, but grommash won also because the help of mannoroth and he didn't fought alone....yeah, that's true....but he killed all alone mannoroth, so it doesn't matter if he had a little help against cenarius: he remains one of the strongest character in the whole Warcraft story

[@dukeoflove1835]

Warriors are the most skilled class in any kind of fight just because they cannot depend on anything other than muscles and mind... Think about it, the class is about combining tactics, using tools like body, reflexes, surroundings, mind, motivation etc. and the result is a fighter who can adapt any situation. They can concentrate on a goal while creating a solution on the move and thats not a thing any other class will master because of other special powers they depend on. Not saying others wont be creative but they are not likely to 'master' it coz stuff like stealth, magic, ki, summons'n'shit are makin those classes focus on brutal power or tricks instead of mastery over warcraft. Yup, i think warriors are like the most elegant fighters when it comes to it coz they spend more attention on themselves and their arts than any other class do. Sargeras is a good example for this, he is the pantheon's frontier guy, his story is a struggle on life. Experience creates the space devil in this case but whatever his motives are, when he sees other titans as a threat he finds a way to end them. Being a warrior means that your profession and specialty is 'Finding a way' and i think someone with better morals than Sarg may someday be salvation of all things.

[@dukeoflove1835]
