Warrior-a useless class?

[Krinkov]

To begin, i never really a high or even mid range level warrior...so i wanted to level one.
Lets not mind the pain of leveling solo

I am always the first one to get picked off, an even with WW axe, shamans, pallies, hunters all outdps me. Only class i can kill is another warrior or undergeared, or if its 2vs1. I never though warriors are supposed to be a support class. Heck, i even lost to feral druids if he gets some lucky crit rolls,druid pops his sprint, heals, comes back and kills me

i have almost nothing to offer to my team besides battleshout..i just feel useless. Dont get me wrong its fun to come up in someone's face and swing that huge 2hander, but its so not fun to sit in all the slows/stuns/etc. You are also the first one targeted since you are...well, the first one in line while all the ranged sit there happily spamming their frostbolts or arcane shots, whatever they got.

i know people say to queue up with heals, but my friends are busy when i am playing and vice versa;
people also say warrior own with pocket heals...but so does everybody! This hunter went 96-1, ok? 96 killing blows...jesus christ that warsong sucked.

In the end i had 1 flag return, 7 killing blows and 26 deaths

Warrior is the most gear-dependant class of them all, and to be truly successful in pvp you require a healer following you at all times.

I see a lot of warriors that seem to think that once they have a healer, they can just run around doing whatever they want and it's the healers job to follow them around and keep them alive no matter what they do.

These warriors tend to charge right into the enemy team and get nuked into oblivion almost instantly OR they get get CC'd and watch helplessly while their healer get's nuked into oblivion.

In reality, the only reason the warrior get's killed first is because they ran right into the other team and it was just too easy to kill them. If the warrior stays with their healer then the other team is never going to kill the warrior first, they will always go straight for the healer.

So when you have a healer, it doesn't mean you can run around doing whatever you want. It means you now have a very important job, keeping your healer alive. Rogues are really good at killing most healers, warriors are good at killing rogues. You can also AoE fear to help your healer out and charge/intercept/pummel enemy casters. On top of all that, when your healing is the one being targeted, you are free to run around killing the guys that are trying to kill them.

When solo, warriors are useless against anything that can heal or kite. When in a team, warriors are VERY dependent on their team. If you have a crappy team, you aren't going to be very useful. If you have a good team they will do things like:
- Dispelling buffs from enemies (power word shield, frost armor, mana shield, etc.)
- Dispelling CC effects from you
- Slowing/immobilizing enemies

With a good team, they are basically just keeping you mobile and locking down your opponents so you can drop a world of pain on them.

Engineering also helps a LOT.

Only as useless as the player is.

I'd reroll unless you really enjoy the class since at 60 there are way too many.
