Is there anything particularly special/cool/unique about Warriors?

Thematically though, why would you be an Arms warrior over a Fury one?

Why swing 1 big 2H weapon when you can swing 2?

This is how my headcanon interprets it.

Fury warriors swinging two, are as the name implies. Fury. Berserking. Slashing with emotion. Everything around them is potential collateral damage.

Arms warriors are like the blademasters. Fighting with precision and discipline. Striking specifically where needed.

Comes down to tactics and precision vs brute force and barbaric.

I’ve always had trouble getting into Warriors too, but this quote from another thread was always very inspiring:

@Lyoog-senjin

Why? Because you hit things in the face with chunks of metal. Oh, sure, paladins do that, but they have the light to protect them. You have a chunk of metal strapped to your arm. When a DK wants to start a fight, he selectively pulls someone from far away into melee range with him.

You? You charge in and slap it in the face with a chunk of metal. When a Druid wants to self-heal, it casts a spell. When you want to self heal, you kill something and get so excited about it that when you attack the next thing, slapping it with a chunk of metal causes your wounds to close. When a rogue wants to kill a god, it sneaks up and stabs it in the back. When you want to kill a god, you leap fourty bleeping yards so you can start smacking the god around with chunks of metal.

You don’t have magic or energy or runes or chi, you just have the sheer power of how pissed off you are. When people need to be inspired, you shout at them until they feel stronger. When a warlock wants to scare someone, he works dark magic.

You? You scream so loud everyone runs like a girl. When a mage wants to interrupt someone from casting a spell, they throw their own magic to prevent it. You slap him in the face so hard he forgets what magic is.
Play a warrior. Be a badass.

Other classes need a leg up from some external power to be strong: shamans ask the elements to help them, paladins shine their flashlights everywhere, DKs go to edgy death magic boot camp and DHs wouldn’t shut up about how they sacrificed everything for [fel magic] power.

Warriors just get so damn MAD that we demolish entire mountains with our own might. We don’t need to get juiced up by magic to be able to do that - let the weaker classes have their much needed clutches to be able to get to our level of power.

They’re the only class that can dual-wield 2-handers. That’s pretty unique,

Warrior Mains, why do you Warrior Main?

Warriors are simply men and women. Ultimately, they are the most basic fighting unit you see, yet they are the first on the front line. They don’t use magic, call to the Light, charm pets, or summon the elements.

It is just them, wearing poorly fitted armor or carrying a weapon to heavy or light for them to wield, defending the world from worst monsters imaginable.

[Kordus-sentinels]

This is a very interesting interpretation.

Makes a lot of sense.
