Warrior
Wrath of the Lich King
Warrior turns weapon skill, armor and battlefield judgment into a direct answer to danger. The same class can pursue sustained offense or the responsibility of holding the front line.
Playable since WoW Vanilla

Background
Soldiers, guards, mercenaries and wandering fighters share this path. Warrior identity comes from training and the willingness to meet an enemy directly, rather than dependence on a single magical tradition.

Combat style
Rage and stances shape the rhythm of combat. Choosing when to attack, interrupt or use a defensive ability matters as much as the weapon carried into a fight.
Roles and trees
Arms emphasizes deliberate weapon attacks, Fury develops an aggressive fighting rhythm, and Protection supports shield-based tanking. Their historical talent trees can be combined within the shared point budget.
