80 warrior twink? and a couple questions

[ffffrf]

first off, im considering lvling my 70 warrior to 80...i dont really play him much so i want to try something new, the 80 bracket!

first off...how are 80 warriors in this bracket?

also what are the benefits of each proffession and what is the cap at lvl 80 (i would like to know what proffessions to lvl and how much of a +stat they give)

well one proff is def alchemy due to the str trinket...what should the other proff be?

I can't comment on how warriors are as I've never played one (and rarely PvP), but from what I've read in other threads they seem to be in pretty good shape.

The profession cap is 525 at level 80, and you're right about alchemy being a must-have. The other profession is a choice between:
- Inscription (DPS: replaces 40ap +15crit with 130str + 25crit. Tank: replaces 22stam + 20dodge with 195stam + 25dodge)
- Blacksmithing (DPS: +90str. Tank: +135stam or +90mastery, 135stam/100mastery if you use the int gloves)
- Engineering (DPS: 480str for 10sec every 1min. Tank: 1.5k armor for 12sec every 1min and 16.2k-19.8k absorb shield every 5mins)

PvP:

Proffession wise, i would take Engineering for the absorb shield and the 480str on use effect as it makes a huge difference as opposed to passive stats where you arn't constantly on the target.

the state of the warrior is directly linked to how well you can play warriors at this bracket, if you don't know how to utilise every single one of your cooldowns properly you will die a lot, and i mean a lot in PvP as it's very easy to counter a warrior, the damage that warriors can put out is really high, although it's average compared to what subelty rogues can dish out during Find Weakness.

PvE:

Proffesion wise, I would take Inscription for DPS and Blacksmithing for protection as you can get an extra 90 mastery which is huge, although if you choose to go a certain build you won't need anymore mastery therefore inscription would be better but this is for you, and only you to decide.


I find that they are no where near as strong as alot of other DPS, it is very hard to compete with Assasination Rogues, Arcane Mages etc etc, If you want to be a real use to the raid group in a PvE situation then i suggest going Protection, protection warriors are by far the best tanks at level 80 raiding in my opinion due to the mastery and the way that critical block works.
