This is the 1st time its occured to me to be honest that I should carry a shield and sword! Will go to the AH tonight!

As Im sure you know by now, stamina on a sword and shield will help with the tanking no end.

Yeah

So, in your guys opinions, do you think I should spend the money and get a shield a 1H weapon? As I was building a Soloing/PVP warrior really, with mainly Arms and Fury tallent points. So in this sense, 2Hers would be the way to go.  But would I still work well as a tank with a good shield and 1Her attached rather just the current 2Her...............OR should I not worry about shield etc. I dont mind getting them if I will be of use as a tank, but as and arms/fury build.........if that makes sense!lol

Cheers again lads

Its always advisable to carry a sword and board as a warrior. I wouldnt pay too much for them though, just have a look for some quests around your level with them as rewards, they should be enough to cope with the odd instance.

There is a damn good sheild that will keep you for awhile that drops off the last boss in SM Cath. Cant remember where drops a good 1h

Niceone, cheers lads Will have to try and get a group together again and go through SM Cath.

In your opinion guys as a warrior, do you think I should re-spec for 100% tanking? Just I was thinking, as a warrior, for raids/instances etc , the main point of a warrior is tanking really isnt it.....

Ah the age old question.

Put simply, stay as a DPS warrior for leveling, maybe with 15-20 points in prot for the odd instance, and then when you hit late 60s respec to full prot.

Remember though you will be quite limited as to what you can do when full prot. You can still grind, albeit slowly, but PvP becomes painful and you will constantly be spammed by people looking for a tank

Tanking high end is arguably the most difficult thing in the game, dont take it on lightly.

once upon a time warriors were very much needed for tanking, their DPS sucked so it was an easy choice... nowadays with buffs to bear and pally tanking not so much.

We are doing T5 content at the moment and only have 1 prot warrior in the guild, our 2nd MT is prot pally (me) and a load of ferals for OTs. On the other hand we have 2 fury warriors and 1 MS warrior.

Do what you want mate, if you like tanking then spec prot at 60 (dont need to before that) if you like DPS then stay MS or Fury, it will just be harder to find a group higher levels (but still very much possible)

Thanks for the advice guys.

Think Ill stay how I am for the time being, as Im Arms/Fury at the moment, and do enjoy random PVP (when I win, lol). Plus im only at Level 50, so might have a re-think like you suggested when im later 60.

Well, im at level 53 now, so will order Burning Crusade soon I think!

Just one stupid question.....ive read you should buy a portal to Shattrath........Im guess you just ask people to buy 1.....but how does it work?? Where is the portal etc once youve bought it?

You dont have to mate, the main advantage of getting portaled to shatt at a low level is you can set your hearth there and then use the portals to get to any major city. When your close to going their on your own soon you can just wait till then

lvl 67 & a bit -D

Cant be bothered to play much. Nagrand really grinds you down - go here kill X amount, go there kill X amount.
The whole game has been sumed up in 1 area.

arrr right, I get you dooms, cheers!!  :bowdown:

Now.......Armorsmith or Weaponsmith..........both dont seem that good tbh. A bit like Blacksmithing.....im at level 240 or somthing, and havent used one item which ive made yet!! And looking at the armor/weaponsmithing I dont know if Id use much from that either..........there is some decent stuff, but by the time I can make a mint axe for example, im guessing Ill already have a better one from questing/dungeons etc.

Unfortunately thats pretty true. Sometimes the fun of a profession is getting it to 375 and then never having to bother with it again  8-)
