I started tankng recently. After getting 2k on my dh I want to try out a new tank and warrior looks really fun. With warriors having the option to go dracthyr tomorrow I was wondering if glide makes them the best option now or is dwarf cleanse still more valuable?
Gnome best
Mecha BIS if you raid and dwarf is BIS if you mythic regardless.
I like dwarf warriors.
It makes little to no difference what race you pick.

Dwarf is the tryhard answer. Classic dwarf is a bit more damage, dark iron is a bit tankier and runs faster indoors, which is most instanced content.
Dracthyr will be ok, glide spam is still faster than running even on non-evokers and there’s a lot of utility to having glide. stuff like knock ups/knock backs can be canceled and fall damage should never happen to you, though warrior can usually just charge/intervene/leap anyway so maybe less value there than on some other classes.
Wing buffet can have some niche use to reposition mobs or soft cc casts. Comparable to tauren stomps but that 3 min cd is pretty rough.
The real answer is whatever makes you happy/whatever you think looks cool/whatever behind you want to stare at. Racials are so minor that they only really matter at the tippy top of content where most people never reach.
Dracthyr master race.
gotta say, I love my dark iron warr, been maining him since DF S3, but I get the sense that racial is a placebo. I know character position is wonky on server but I get outran all the time in dungeons by other classes with better movement bonuses.
OP: Can’t speak for racials because I dunno how important remove bleeds are this season. But dwarves look great in plate.
Orcs tho…
Assuming you haven’t already decided on what your warrior should be, I’d say pick for the aesthetic or racials (or both if they align on the same option).
Personally I’m a fan of the void elf racials, their damage racial is up every ~60s, and it’s just free damage and lines up nicely a lot for warriors in general. Their Spatial Rift though has quite a lot of solid utility every single season, either in raid to cheese specific mechanics, or in keys to do the same.
From a tank’s pov, Spatial rift is a very fun ability to utilise when pulling packs and then getting back to a Line of Sight spot, since you can throw your portal backwards, charge/leap out onto packs then teleport back and cover a lot of distance for some set-ups.
Half price xmogs are good too.
