Arms: Mortal Strike and Enrage 31/20/0
The main Warrior PvP build uses the same framework as Classic.
Mortal Strike reduces healing,
Improved Hamstring holds targets in place, Enrage has near-constant combat uptime, and
Piercing Howl catches crowds. Strengths: the best Warrior alongside a healer and in battlegrounds. Weaknesses: no slow or root removal beyond potions, trinket and racials; low rage while chasing; and only
Berserker Rage and Recklessness against fear.
Arms / Protection: Mortal Strike and silence 31/0/20
A new Forever build following Blizzard's own design: the middle of Protection replaces Fury. You get
Mortal Strike and a 3-second
Shield Bash silence on healers,
Iron Will against stuns and fear,
Last Stand every 3 minutes and Disarm every 40 seconds. Strengths: durability and control against casters, healers and melee. Weaknesses: no Howl, 5% less critical strike chance and no Enrage; the silence requires an equipped shield, so use a weapon-swap macro.
Two-handed Fury 20/31/0
A solo Warrior for world PvP and random battlegrounds: a two-hander,
Bloodthirst and the full lower-Fury PvP toolkit. Intercept every 20 seconds,
Improved Berserker Rage to clear slows,
Death Wish for 30 seconds without fear, and
Bloodthirst for movement speed. Arms supplies
Deep Wounds and Impale for critical hits. Beta testers are discussing this build: the thread's author considers it stronger than Arms solo, but explicitly recommends Arms if you always have a healer. Weaknesses: no
Mortal Strike, so enemy healers heal at full strength, and no
Hamstring roots.
For long fights without a healer, move two Flurry points into
Gore Drinker. After
Berserker Rage, Bloodrage,
Death Wish and
Bloodthirst, three attacks then heal 1% health each: open in the calculator →.
Fury / Protection 0/31/20
The toughest Warrior without a permanently equipped shield: the full Fury PvP toolkit plus the middle of Protection, including
Iron Will,
Last Stand, Disarm every 40 seconds and
Shield Bash's silence. Strengths: mobility, slow removal, 30 seconds of fear immunity and plenty of defensives. Weaknesses: less damage than 20/31/0 because you lack
Deep Wounds and Impale, and still no
Mortal Strike.
Shield flag carrier 0/20/31
The successor to Classic's 14/5/32.
Shield Wall every 4 minutes,
Last Stand every 3,
Iron Will and a shield that generates rage from blocks, dodges and parries. Use
Concussion Blow and silence on pursuers;
Shield Slam has a 50% chance to remove an enemy magic effect, such as
Blessing of Freedom. Fury supplies Howl for pursuers and cheaper shouts. Strength: the toughest Warrior. Weaknesses: no
Improved Berserker Rage or
Death Wish, and
Berserker Rage requires its own stance.
Against many Warlocks and Priests, there is a 0/23/28 variation:
Death Wish and
Improved Berserker Rage instead of
Shield Slam. Both cannot fit alongside it within 51 points: open in the calculator →.
Niche option: shield fighter 20/0/31
A Forever experiment. Bastion gives +10% to all damage with a shield,
Shield Slam hits almost twice as hard as in Classic, Revenge is 60% stronger, and Impale boosts their critical hits. This build's only supporting assessment is Mobalytics' view that Protection looks slightly more promising in level-30 duels. Strengths: flag-carrier durability with damage. Weaknesses: no
Mortal Strike, Howl or frequent Intercept, and nobody has tested its damage against plate at 60 yet.
