Always good to know what other classes are going to do, what they're thinking, what their abilities are, and what their strats are to better counter them.

It's a pretty straight forward fight depending on their pet. Use skull of impending doom if they have a succubus. Try to pop shadow reflector right out of an intercept stun. If they are using a voidwalker, fear the pet to avoid the sacrifice shield. Also forgot to mention that Lifegiving gem (the best trinket for warrior) scales off of your total HP. The more HP you have, the more healing Lifegiving Gem will do, Battle Standard is amazing in pair. You can't swap weapons while you have heroic strike or cleave queued.

[@billyumbraskey8135]

warlock duel vs warrior will use void, sac immediately off the charge (which an honorable warlock in a duel will LET you get so as to not be accused of "cheesing" the charge" but if they do chesse it you will never have the chance to shout it) and deny you rage, force intercept > coil and win 9/10 games. you didnt "oops forget" im pulling your card.

[@nicolbolas8758]

why gnome if orc has free trinket and 25% resist to stun sometimes helps alot

[@rakunishz]

you didn't mention undead as a race, I thought wotlk wasn't bad for pvp.

[@grixiscontrol]

warriors especially in classic nerfed the F out, mage can pull 300 mobs and warrios getting nerfed for stpid video, warrios has GCD on pummel, warriors only one class that need to beat absorbs with white damage, abilities limited by stances, losses almost all recources when need to swich stances, only one class switching weapons in pvp, has punishment for stances like 10% damage income for 3% crit.... , very long CD on some skills to 30min and all 3 share CD lol pop reckless and you will eat 20%+10% its like not enough damage eating class

[@frstflvr7327]

A 50 mins classic wow pvp guide out of nowhere - POG!

[@chocrikir655]

Some advanced strat for beating mages: You can easily turn the kiting game of mages (the vast bad majority of them at least) into your favour sometimes by actutally playing along and not chase but just run away from them when you are not slowed at the moment of your intercept (turn off auto attack to not trigger Frost Armor). Mage will always blink your intercept. If you just run straight away from the mage with no slow, they often time fail to connect a cast in time before you can run out of combat. With some good timing you can turn around right before you would drop combat to get back into range for a charge. Mage now has no blink which usually instantly forces a block. It sounds kind of complicated but with some practice you can pull this off fairly consistently. This also works well with a full stamina gear setup as it forces the mages to use more blinks without actually connecting dmg which results in mana problems on their end fairly often.

bro this is the light in the dark path, ive been playing warr from 2019 classic and have been waiting for the arms pvp guide for so long. The resources that are around are so scattered and so few. This really hits it home for all the pvp arms warr the ultimate guide.thx so much

[@andrecardoso6941]

of course there are very few guides out there cause PvP in vanilla is trash.

[@theskorpian]

Been playing the game for 20 years and have never used the flash bombs or poison pots, what great fucking tips lol. Thanks for the video man, enjoyed as always.

[@Sayishere]

Man I know this is a old video but god damn, it's so detailed. I'm a new player looking for some warrior tips and found this and I just wanted to thank you for this! Alot of people would be gatekeeping information like this, thanks alot brother

[@Srdjan1724]

Insane video, I love your dedication and enthusiasm, watched it 3 times over!

[@ExecutusGaming]

Thank you!!

[@edmontonlivermoore4935]

What’s crazy is you could probably make a video like this for more than a few classes. I give props retrowow but homie you’re a true wow polymath. Just finished the video, loved it.

[@willtidey9720]

Insane video. Very well done, very thorough but never over the top. To the point, direct guidance. Every class duel was kept neat and compact but insightful. Great work.

[@swingtimer75]

If you really want to be a competitive warr, listen to this guy.

[@AlexGavei]

Coming back to Classic Era and trying warr first time ever for some pvp.This guide is phenomenal!

[@Stormin25]

Dude, this was put together amazingly. Very well done.

[@Whirrun]

You can use a Frost Reflector for his traps btw, especially when doing the first intercept, they'll scatter trap you so you can preemptively use Reflector. Or save it up for later if the hunter already knows what you're doing.

[@PollyCot]

Man its a great day when Executus uploads

[@Andres-nm7rh]

Dude thank you so much. Literally on my first warrior and I’m lvl 52 now getting ready for the WPVP grind

there is hardly any wpvp in classic era. As a fresh warrior you will get farmed by the same 3 end game geared mages every day on the same zone.

Brilliant video! Ignore the haters who cant admit that you put in a lot of effort in your videos. I made a gnome warrior on Everlook (yeah i know shit server) this video really gave me an insight on everything that exist.

I dont play vanilla anymore and still watched your guide lol. Great guide i also liked the tbc one a lot. Keep up the good work.

[@thepunished8042]

Great video, I've always told people warrior was the hardest class to play in wow classic pvp. We are the only class that has absolutely no tools, we have to outsource nearly everything. If you are losing to a warrior in pvp as a non warrior, its simply because they either have better gear or they are probably better than you.

[@daiblaze1396]

What a treat! Executus is back and with a guide on my go-to class. Even if I will probably no longer pvp... I am currently off of the game but always like to watch some videos. You are definetely my favourite warrior by far. Why? I relate very much to your plays. You go through stuff and try new skills not so easy to come accross. Very cool and fun to be able to understand your thoughts process. The gameplay is really enjoyable. Even learned new stuff while I thought I mastered my class! Waiting for HC I guess...

44:35 Can you explain the idea behind Rocket Helming an NS'd Druid? can't they just heal instantly after the helm breaks?

It would be so a friendly priest or shaman purge it off of them, rendering that cooldown useless.

[@ingiald7970]

[@ob5452]

Hi exe, thx for the great vids bruh, I have a question, at what point did you switch to preferring fury in pvp over arms? Many of your vids are arms warrior but then you went R14 fury DW in classic. Can we really do without MS debuff? Thx

[@C2S07]

Good summary. One thing that wasn't mentioned; there's an amulet from ZG activities (Rage of Mugamba) that reduces hamstring rage cost by 2 (the other stats are also fine for PvP). Coupled with the PVP gloves, you could bring hamstring rage cost to mere 5, so maybe something to consider for those fights where you use the ability more than usual (such as the shaman fight). By the way; in the paladin duel, if you could afford the rage, wouldn't sweeping strikes also been a good option, as soon as you saw the summoned peasants?

[@Takhii]

[@trmnbttmley]

Amazing guide man, thanks for sharing your knowledge :) one question though, how does rend proc overpower ?

[@ExecutusGaming]

Thanks!! I use rend against rogues to keep the 20 second bleed on them, generally when I get the opportunity to use rend, they have evasion up. While evasion is up, I use rend to cause the target to dodge and generate overpower procs. Hope that helps!

[@trmnbttmley]

@@ExecutusGaming ah got you, thanks mate

[@JhulowNT]

Very nice video good job love you following you since the old "executus here, coming at you with ..." good job man

[@EspenKrispien]

At 9:10 I thought higher attackspeed=more hits=more chances to proc, but slow attackspeed gets compensated by some mechanic that increases the proc chance on them?

[@SantaLapio]

21:05 You can also reflect hunter traps with reflector, its poggers!

[@nono-i7t]

Your best guide and possibly the best warrior guide for Classic I've seen. Good job! RACE: Gnome racial is huge. However, it would be more valuable to horde than alliance, given no BoF. It can also be mitigated with FAP to some extent. Spider belt and also helps negate the need a bit. Gnome racial isn't gonna swing the matchup vs a good and decently geared mage either, nor hunter or any other matchup. It will make non-organized PvP less miserable however. I do enjoy NE since I think Shadowmeld is quite strong but I see your argument for Gnome being the only "acceptable" race for PvP. On horde side however, orc only "acceptable" race for PvP? Hell no. Great for organized group engagements, such as WSG premade. Otherwise just "ok". Warstomp is that clutch interrupt that can save your butt from getting polied or squeeze in that Sweeping Strikes WW. The Warstomp DR doesn't matter much just like mace spec isn't an issue, you want the interrupt and it's not much of a factor in actual play. The added range on Tauren is useful whe doing wreckingball AoE plays in PvP too. WOTF allows you to stay in battle stance when charging which is strong for group play, it also gives you a chance vs succubi warlocks as well as vs tryhard druid flagrunners using sand. Being able to break fear twice is immensely helpful in the priest matchup too. I don't think there's a clear winner but I lean towards Forsaken for best warrior race. But yes, this is a controversial pick. GEARING: Typically the recommendation goes sword for PvP or "depends on which weapon you have" (Consensus largely goes something like Arcanite Reaper < OEB / TUF < BRE / Ashkandi / Rank 14 < Dark Edge of Insanity / Ashbringer < MoM). Crit from axe spec doesn't scale off your crit which goes up as you get better gear. It scales with deep wounds and your yellow hits with impale. Your extra sword hits can proc off from abilities like hamstring (if you crit a hamstring big whoop) and can crit giving you a much higher burst potential than axes. Crits can also give opponents benefits, such as reckoning procs and healing effects. So what exactly is your argument for Sword spec because deep wounds and impale seems like a weak argument? MACROS: Similarly I use few macros. It just leads to misplays. One I do use is a stance swap macro with charge or intercept that casts hamstring or disarm if in range. Haven't found any real downside with this macro. Theoretically I guess I could end up charging a target I don't want to if I swap stance with a target selected. POTIONS: I guess you like farming gold.

[@fmls8266]

Ashbringer is not really good for PvP, you lose 600-700 health pre-buffs compared to MoM or Rank14 or Ashkandi, which is huge. Orc is way better than Undead, not even close, if you eat fears as a warrior you are missplaying, and the seduction is super situational.

[@nono-i7t]

@@fmls8266 Seduction and dusts. Also if you charge into a pack and want to Sweeping strikes that's at least 1s before u can swap stance. Undead doesn't have this issue. In war vs war duels can also stay in combat or defensive without worrying about fear. Vs a strong priest you also can end up getting feared as the fight very well may go past 30 sec. As for Ashbringer a war already has a fairly large hp buffer and as long as you get 2 procs you're back on top. One will almost do it if you count the swing factor. Wars rarely outlast their opponent, it's mostly about burst or lose and with sword proc and the proc effect it has higher burst potential.

[@Skorps1811]

Incredibly good guide. Only thing I disagree with is on macroses, but whatever floats your boat captain 😅

[@lingdongkong9779]

one more tip i learned from my r14 grind vs mage, after nova‘d, you can run(most likely w/ slow effect) in the opposite direction and try to squeeze out your charge cd from out of the battle if the mage trying to cast a max rank FB. more charge reset vs mage = higher kill chance. But in the end, the good mages will use their max range intterupt to force war into combat. ❤

[@aksamija]

wow looking forward to watching this! more content please! ;)

[@bartoplaysgames6402]

Ohhh myyy GAWD!!! Please cover more classes pls!

[@Helios1511]

I love your videos please keep up the great work boss

[@jfkdidntlos791]

So if you did run might of menethil max damage, would you still put points into mace spec? Talking for BGs specifically. Separate thoughts, seems like dark edge is better for duels and small skirmishes. Whereas big team fights you would want MoM.

[@ExecutusGaming]

Agreed. I would not put any points into mace spec, and choose other talents.

[@jackwu8771]

Great video. Does it help if you go over 5% hit when you against someone who has more than 300 defense? Like if the hit cap is 5% or it will be helpful to stack more than 5%?

[@bellatorum]

Great video! Very useful

[@jlw21]

[@plexx_AUT]

Thanks for the Vid Executus, do you think Escape Artist > Hardiness?

[@ExecutusGaming]

Yes, better against almost every single class

[@buruflorin-ionut9431]

Awsome video.detailed explanation! But....i m beaten by all classes in open world...tried arms/prot/ fury but still beaten to the ground..maybe i need to change class

[@goat1776]

Regarding the 1 point into improved charge... I'm not 60 yet, but I had others test it for me. Doesn't an auto attack melee critical strike generate 20ish rage against plate? Therefore, regular charge (15 rage) plus the 20 rage from the auto attack critical strike equals 35 rage. That's enough for Sweeping Strikes or Mortal Strike negating the need for improved charge in the way you described it? It seems improved charge would be most effective when one does not melee crit and needs a little extra rage generation to get to 30+. Just curious if I'm understanding this correctly. Thanks for the video! Love the content!

[@theperfectbeing]

Now this is the type of warrior content people are looking for. I already took priest to rank 14 in vanilla and druid to rank 12 in classic but now It's time to start the warrior and take control of the mid field. Now decide to go heavy RP race choice or minmax. I think you're under estimating how good Trolls can be for many melee matchups and UD are fun af to play with cannibalize (any extra healing self healing is amazing) and not having to be in berserker to deal with fear. Orc stun resist is straight up broken though lol, the amount of times I've had blackouts and pounce/bash be resisted is obscene. Gnome is clearly the best for the bad match ups like frost mage and getting stuck in entrapment procs but stoneform lets you straight up dumpster rogues because they can't bleed kite you or 2nd blind you and prevents them from taking AB flags. Warriors should always go with the highest HP they can manage while keeping good stats, glass cannon styled warrriors are a waste of team slot and healers hate you because your gameplay is dependent on them.

[@morganspencer9868]

Hey man iv never played warrior before. Me and my buddy are deciding to roll on either fresh if they annnounce it or era. Having trouble deciding which faction to pick. How big of a factor is windfury when youre making your decision?

[@NightmareCrab]

who still plays this game frfr. this video is cozy though. i appreciate it.

[@alanbui3581]

A point of discussion: why 1 point instead of 2 for improved charge? Doing the maths it seems like with 2 points you can get sweeping strikes up on every charge+melee with or without having to crit

[@ExecutusGaming]

Depends on what weapon/weapon speed you have. The slower the speed the more rage you'll generate from 1 auto attack.

[@daja4626]

Executus, I Really love your work since 2019 but I have a little critique concerning the duels: 1) you duel with a flask mate… 2) you duel only once with very helpful CDs (f.e doom off hand) I would like to see normal duels or at least 3 duels, so we can see how you try beat someone in casual situations Greetings

[@ExecutusGaming]
