The warriors really looked like something good however after the innitial hype a month ago or so I barely seen any info on it anymore

Anyone running them at 85 allready? PVP and or PVE

Thanks
4 warriors kinda work for PVE, not very well. 1 tank 3 arm + 1holy, it is not made for heroics. You can only do it when you overgear the cata heroic (which is not that hard to do, 371 pvp gear from BGs).

I was talking about warriors a month ago. I am now running them at level 85. ALmost done with collecting PVP gears. I am not as confident as I was a month ago though lol. Warriors have some issues:

1. Warrior damage is pretty decent. Probably highest burst as melee with that 1 shot macro (if you don't know what that is, google "one shot macro warrior", swifty has a video explaining it)

2. Warrior needs support/management. Playing 4 warriors + 1holy paladin by yourself would not work, at least in arena. Warriors don't have that 15% walk speed. and you can't use heroic leap effectively when boxing. So if you don't kill your target with bladestorm, you will be kited. (even DK can kite you). You need healers to dispel you to continue dps.

3. If you play 4 warriors only, and let someone else handle the healing. This would work somewhat. But for me personally, I still replace with 1 DK to play 1 DK + 3 warriors. Just for deathgrip. You will go crazy in arena (dalaran sewer) if the other team keep abusing the ledge and your warrior have to go all the way around to chase someone.


Rets and DKs are not without their own problems. But if you plan on playing all 5 by yourself, I would not recommend warriors.
