Warrior – Best PvP & PvE Build Tree

The warrior class from the game's first version was considered the benchmark PvP because its name spoke for itself. Vital, ferocious, fast – this class was and still is loved by thousands of gamers. ExpCarry team created a small guide dedicated to the right choice of talents for the warrior in the two current specializations for PvP battles. Also, we did not ignore the fans of PvE, preparing the actual talent trees for the conquest of the dungeons and raids by these classes in the game WoW Dragonflight.

Warrior PvE Builds in WoW Dragonflight 10.2

Warriors in any specialization excel in PvE, whether a raid or a mythic+ dungeon of any difficulty. Their excellent survivability, valuable abilities, and consistently significant damage make them a welcome companion to any group.

Protection Warrior PvE Build

Let's start with the only specialization capable of being a tank in a dungeon or raid. With relatively low cooldowns, a high blocking rate, and mass damage, the warrior is one of the best tanks in World of Warcraft Dragonflight 10.2 Specialization skills include Avatar, Ravager, Shield Slam, Thunder Clap, Thunderous Roar, Shield Block, and Last Stand. Now for the talents:

If you want to experience the role of the tank for yourself, in the current patch, the warrior is an excellent choice for both the beginner and the experienced player. You will be in demand equally in raids of difficulty, and keys of almost any available level.

Protection Warrior Pluses in WoW Dragonflight 10.2

• Excels in situations with high amounts of physical/blockable damage.
• Smooth damage intake.
• Has high mobility with Charge, Intervene, and Heroic Leap.
• Decent raid and dungeon utility in Rallying Cry, Battle Shout, Shockwave, Spell Reflection, and Intimidating Shout.
• Can specialize for heavy AoE damage, single target damage, or go for a fully defensive build with talents.

Protection Warrior Minuses

• More unforgiving of mistakes or improper play compared to other tanks.
• Weaker self-sustain compared to some other tank specs. This is only an issue in certain niche situations.
• Has some difficulty against bleeds, damage over time abilities and non-blockable damage.

Fury Warrior PvE Build

Next, as part of the guide to the warrior, the service team will consider a specialization called fury, which allows you to carry a two-handed weapon in each hand and crush enemies with powerful blows. It has simply colossal damage but is highly dependent on the generation of a valuable resource – Fury, in the absence of which remarkably loses DPS. Recklessness, Rampage, Raging Blow, Bloodthirst, and Avatar are the primary specialization abilities. Also, worth mentioning are Rallying Cry and Enraged Regeneration. Consider the talent tree:

It is one of the most accessible and most influential branches of character pumping. Its essential feature is massive AOE damage, which is often highly valued, especially in mythic+ keys.

Fury Warrior Pluses in WoW Dragonflight 10.2

• Fast and engaging play style, which is also relatively simple, focuses on constant throughput damage while also being easy to learn.
• Several high burst multi target options with very little buildup and without sacrificing single target capability.
• High mobility class due to Charge, Intervene and Heroic Leap.
• Multiple defensive abilities between Enraged Regeneration, Defensive Stance, Spell Reflection, and Rallying Cry.
• Source of the important attack power buff Battle Shout.

Fury Warrior Minuses

• Fast rotation can be difficult for some players to keep up with.
• Downtime significantly penalizes damage potential.
• Mediocre to low sustained single target damage output.

Arms Warrior PvE Build

The last branch of warrior development in WoW Dragonflight is armed, characterized by high mobility, defensive abilities, and the ability to quickly deal massive damage to the target. That's why this build will get wide distribution and popularity. The primary specialization abilities are rent, Colossus Smash, Mortal Strike, Overpower, Bladestorm, and Slam. Let's take a look at it:

Thus, each gamer can choose an exciting specialization and immediately distribute the talent points without wasting time looking for the best solution. Remember that it's easier to dress up a warrior in the arms specialization because it requires fewer items.

Arms Warrior Pluses in WoW Dragonflight 10.2

• Very flexible toolkit, able to spec into several damage profiles, ranging from single target, to two-target cleave, sustained multi target, or Execute phases.
• High mobility class due to Charge, Intervene, and Heroic Leap.
• Multiple defensive abilities between Die by the Sword, Defensive Stance, Spell Reflection, and Rallying Cry.
• Source of the important attack power buff Battle Shout.

Arms Warrior Minuses

• Downtime significantly penalizes damage potential.
• Talent builds are heavily specialized, sacrificing one capability for another.

Warrior PvP Builds in WoW Dragonflight

As before, in PvP relevant, only 2 of the three possible branches of the warrior pump are present. They are arms and fury, the essence of which is approximately the same, but the gameplay is entirely different.

Arms Warrior PvP Build

Let's start with the most popular specialization, called arms. It is the most balanced in damage and the ability to avoid it, has high mobility, and can control. Ideal for already experienced players. The primary specialization abilities are rend, Colossus Smash, Mortal Strike, Overpower, Bladestorm, and Slam. Also, worth mentioning is Die by the Sword, Defensive Stance, and Rallying Cry. Next to the build:

Arms Warrior Pluses in WoW Dragonflight 10.2

• Strong, consistent damage and powerful burst windows.
• Can effectively fight any number of enemies.
• Multiple stuns through Storm Bolt and Shockwave.
• High mobility.
• Sharpen Blade is the strongest healing reduction in the game.
• Adaptable kit able to respond to almost any situation.
• Strong defensive kit.

Arms Warrior Minuses

• Struggles to keep up with consistent ranged slows.
• Talent lineup has you sacrifice either sustained or burst damage for the other.

Fury Warrior PvP Build

Next up, the ExpCarry team will highlight a warrior specialization called fury. Its specialty is inflicting constant high damage to a single target, with the possibility of its infinite pursuit. At the same time, the defense functions are much weaker here, which makes fury a more vulnerable target.  Recklessness, Rampage, Raging Blow, Bloodthirst, and Avatar are the primary specialization abilities. Also, worth mentioning are Rallying Cry, Hamstring, and Enraged Regeneration. The talent tree looks like this:

Fury Warrior Pluses in WoW Dragonflight 10.2

• High sustained damage.
• Recklessness gives a lot of burst damage.
• High mobility.
• Incredible healing output.
• Enraged Regeneration is a strong defensive and useable while stunned.

Fury Warrior Minuses

• Struggles against consistent ranged slows.
• Lack of Bladestorm means high vulnerability to being hit with CC.
• Not a lot of utility.
• Choice of PvP talents is minimal.
