The ultimate PvE guide for DPS Warrior. Find out the best specs, optimal rotations, macros and gear you need to become the best warrior in Classic WoW.
Welcome to our Classic WoW PvE Warrior guide! You want to become your guild’s most powerful warrior in PvE? Look no further!
In this guide, we will talk about level 60 PvE for DPS Warriors and their 2 specializations: Arms and Fury.
Once they’ve acquired some good gear, warriors are at the top of DPS meters in Classic WoW. While leveling as a warrior is quite difficult because of the lack of low level gear as well as how expensive skills are (leading to consistently lacking your primary resource : Rage), warriors start to shine at max level!
Better gear means higher Rage generation, meaning more special attacks, leading you to doing massive damage in dungeons and battlegrounds.
The warrior class is available to every race in WoW. However, not all races are equal. The best choices for DPS Warrior in PvE are Orc for Horde, Human for Alliance. La classe des guerriers est disponible pour toutes les races.
Fureur sanguinaire: Burst DPS burst that stacks with
active items (trinkets, potions…)
Solidité: Higher chance to resist stuns, possibly changing the
tide of a fight
Spécialisation Hache: Very interesting because it
increases your chance to hit and makes it less likely your attacks will be
dodged/parried/blocked.
Spécialisation Epée / Spécialisation Masse: Very interesting because it increases your chance to hit and makes it less likely your attacks will be dodged/parried/blocked.
Orcs have the highest PvE potential for Horde players because of Spécialisation Hache, Fureur sanguinaire and shamans’ Totem Furie-des-vents (thanks shamans!). They’re also perfect for PvP because of Solidité which gives you a good chance of resisting stuns.
Humans are the best PvE race for Alliance players thanks to the weapon skill bonuses from Spécialisation Epée and Spécialisation Masse. Higher chance to hit means more damage, more rage, and more special attacks.Here are our recommendations for your warriors’ professions for PvE.
Mining
is an excellent choice to combine with Engineering or Blacksmithing, the best
professions for warriors. It’s also an excellent source of income through the
Auction House.
Engineering is especially worthwhile because it allows you to craft bombs, repair bots and pseudo-bandages. Here are some examples of interesting items you can craft as an engineer: Charge de sapeur gobelin, Petit dragon en arcanite, Réflectoflamme hyper-radiant and Déchiquetteur dimensionnel - Long-guet.
Blacksmithing allows you to craft your own weapons and armor. You can also make good money from it at the Auction House.
Alchemy
is our recommended crafting profession, not only because of how much money you
can make selling potions and flasks, but because of Transmutation d'arcanite . This is not only a good source of low effort income,
Barre d'arcanite can be used to craft weapons such as Déchireuse en arcanite or the notorious Marteau en sulfuron.
DPS Warriors have two different specializations: Arms and Fury.
Arms Warriors in Classic WoW are powerful fighters but are somewhat slow. They rely on rage to demolish anything that stands in the way. If supported by a healer, they excel in PvP, but they can struggle in PvE (unlike Fury Warriors).
Fury Warriors fight with a weapon in each hand. They’re known for being one of the best PvE DPS in Vanilla WoW thanks to their versatility, sturdiness and dots. It is better at PvE than PvP, unlike Arms Warriors.

This spec hits slower, but harder, with a strong AoE potential. Note that this spec is only viable for Horde Warriors because it requires Orcs’ Bloodlust racial as well as Shaman totems, only available to the Horde in Classic WoW.
Some explanations as to how these talents work:
Here you will learn how to optimize your character’s ability rotation in Classic WoW.
We will give you a priority list for Warriors’ skills. It is not a fixed rotation, but depends on cooldowns and rage availability.
This rotation assumes you’re using one of our recommended talent setups and that you are at level 60.
If you are still leveling, please refer to your Warrior Leveling Guide for your rotations.
Despite their massive power, we will not talk about explosives such as Charge de sapeur gobelin.
Keep in mind that Frappe héroïque and Enchaînement replace your next autoattack, which will then not grant you any rage. Their actual rage cost is therefore significantly higher than the tooltip indicates.
Only use Frappe héroïque to dump rage if you have at least 50 or 60 rage.
As for your damage cooldowns,Témérité must be used along with Souhait mortel or when you’re spamming Exécution.
In Short:
Here is the stat priority you want to look at in order to optimize your Warrior for PvE.
Before going into more details, you need to understand that gear in Classic WoW tends to be very unique. For that reason, you will often be looking for very specific items instead of trying to follow a stat priority.
Nonetheless, here is a more detailed explanation about stats that will help you understand why you’ll be looking for these specific items.

DPS Warriors’ main resource is Rage. You must understand how Rage is generated and how it works in order to use it as efficiently as possible.
You can have up to 100 Rage. Your Rage bar starts empty, and you lose 3 rage / second when out of combat.
You can generate Rage in two ways: hitting enemies with autoattacks, or getting hit by enemies. How much Rage you generate is dependent on how much damage you’re dealing or taking.
While in combat, Rage does not go away and can even slowly increase thanks to the Maîtrise de la Rage talent (1 rage / 3 seconds). Note that this isn’t mentioned in the tooltip.
You must understand that you don’t have to use up your rage immediately after generating it.
Hoarding rage properly is important to maximize your DPS (or your survival) as a warrior.
However, you can also lose potential damage if you’re forgetting to use your Rage. If you reach 100 Rage, you can’t generate any more, and any additional rage you should be generating is wasted. This is why playing a warrior is so interesting; it takes a lot of skill and experience to correctly use your resources. Once you’ve mastered that, you will be the best DPS in your raid!

Maximizing your performance in Classic WoW requires consumables. There are a lot of them and they usually stack.
Here is a list of the best flasks,
potions and foods that you can obtain for your DPS Warrior in Classic WoW for
PvE content. Alchemy/Herbalism will help gather the ingredients required to
craft them, and increase your DPS significantly. Otherwise you’re gonna have to
buy them at the Auction House.
Consumables:
Food:
Protection against magic:
Whetstones :
Here is a combo that works because all these consumables are from a different category: use Elixir de la Mangouste +Boulettes fumées du désert +Pierre à aiguiser élémentaire + R.O.I.D.S. to optimize your DPS.
