Warrior vs rogue

Currently I have a 70 Dk and a 70 resto Druid both twinks but I'm looking for a 3rd.



The 2 I want to do is either a warrior or a rogue.



I'm just wondering the pros/cons of each class and I know rogues murder with the glaives but I like how warriors play, just asking for some advice from people who have played either class.



Thanks
 
Rogues murder more without glaives, but glaives are good for epeen and fun. Warrior is crap compared to rogue at 70, I ended up deleting my 70 warrior because I needed another character slot :S
 
Well, for starters, Warrior is probably the weakest class in the bracket, and rogue is arguably the second best (Just below mages).



Rogues, Insane damage if you line things up, Great control, Great mobility, Can disarm, One of the classes it's easier to solo-queue as, Currently very strong in the bracket. BUT, The class isn't one you stack (very much) resilience as, Outside of stealth, or in the open, you'll drop like a brick, Rather reliant on cooldowns, Again, usually very squishy.





Warrior, Decent damage (when on the target), Protection has decent mobility. Erp, that's all the pros i have. Very squishy, Extremely easy to kill/kite, Heavily reliant on healers, Lack of second gap-closer makes warriors just a slaughter for most casters, hunters, death knights, or anything that can heal. Lacks colossus smash, That feeling of no matter how good you are, Almost every drooling, mouth-breathing derp of a frost mage out there will be able to outplay you with 2-3 buttons.



Yeah, that felt rather depressing to write, may have missed some details, But warriors are in very poor shape in the bracket.

That text is really depressing to read indeed

15% healing isn't really a buff in this bracket when healers flash of light heals 80% of health.

For arenas I'd take a rogue, but for everything else defo. a warrior. Atleast used to be fun as warrior in 2009

Warriors get dismembered by any class with a pulse, and braincells. Or a mage.



They are, quite easily, the most painful class to play in the bracket, due to the sheer amount of mages with /rofl bound to Ice lance.



Warriors are a fun class, In PvE. As said above, and in other posts, Warriors get butchered by literally everything.



And just realized it was a mage posting that.

But no longer is. As it's already been said Warriors are in fact the weakest class just after Warlocks and unless you are a real fan of the Warrior class, being killed 25 times ( ie ) in any Battleground is not fun.

This said, if you find a pocket healer than the situation changes completely, a good holy paladin can make you go 40 - 0 in any Battleground.



So my advice is the same one as always, play whichever gives you the most fun !

rofl what a loser.

if you are not a retard you can pwn as a warrior

i just made my one, and i am so fucking happy, warriors are so good. i can easly kill a mage 1v1.

its all about if you can play this.

First of all dont go prot, dont be a gay.

http://chardev.org/?profile=277511 is the way to go (i am the same atm, but with double apollyon as a fury)

i use a lot of FAP (free action potion - no stuns no novas 30 sec) get resistance flask.

its ez to kill a rogue,

just stun him > rend, slam with your heroic throw + lightning trinket, mortal S, over P to the ground spam with heroic Ss.

dont forget to disarm his shadow dance, and rogue is nothing after this.

mage ez to go,

mount run to the mage > shout for rage, double harmstring + FAP or blade S, mage blink, charge, stun, bye.

Trinket deepfreeze, reflect his shatter mage will die like a shit.

As fury just charge>bling>fury charge, bye.

I say, How constructive.



But really, in no way should an arms warrior beat a Frost mage, like, ever. (Provided you are arms). And almost looks like you guys farmed them, looking at Kbs/deaths, etc. Honestly, it'd taken a special kind of stupid for a Frost mage to 'lose' to an arms warrior.



And again, Warriors are weakest when compared to other classes. Whereas i could go 81-0 in a Battleground one day, i could go 21-9 the next day, Depending on whom is on the other team. Sooo, linking a battleground summery is helpful.



Warriors are not "so good", Take the best anything in the bracket, put it up 'genst the best 70 warrior, the latter would be obliterated. But hey, as long as your happy.



Just my two cents, as a hunter, Almost feels bad, killing warriors. Seeing as arms has Zero chance, Yet to see a decent fury warrior, And protection warriors hit like napkins, least, the few i've seen. ('Cept gadrin)
 
Yay screen shot where warrior kill steals from mages, getting healed by 2 holy palas.



If you play as arms 1v1 mage, even you start without charge running with mount to em, they blink, u charge & throwdown, mage trinkets deep freezes, gg warrior dead. Really unfair that warrior don't even have shattering throw @70



edit: maybe its worth to lvl 74 for shattering throw

lol, the mages were stealing my kills, and not we didnt farmed the GY. mages are the shit rly.

reflect the deep if he trinket (if you an go practice) or trinket deep > reflect shatter (fingers of frost damage bobo) > and charge with your heroic throw eng trinket, reflected shit + mortal = DEAD.

74 is the shit, shatter throw not worth it.

if you are very skilled rogue with all the pve gear and like 5 years exp playing for sure cuz of class balance, but a bad rogue or just normal one have almost no chances.

and dont forget i can rape or cc as a warrior very good, its ez to trinet cheap, instant fear / charge / stun / rend / eng boots blade S run arround and do shit or bladeS the blind disarm your Shadow dance or just kite / cc and 2-3 shot the rogue.
 
If you wanna deal with rogues as warrior I would suggest going prot with SWP tanking gear gemmed with resi.

just like going 74 on a druid for cyclone, feral = gg



feral>rogue imo
 
Thanks for the info, I will level a rogue. It's really unfortunate how bad warriors are right now (their in a pretty bad spot at 85 as well)



Probly roll him as a gnome till I get my engineering up then switch him over to a human and 2x trinket everyone.



I just assumed warriors would be a lot like dks but I can see that's not the case, really depressing.



So yeah I guess you'll all be getting stabbed in the back and sapped out of nowhere from yet another rogue very soon here.
