I ranked my warrior to rank 13 and boy I hate the 1v1 situations. Warrior is only good for group fights and with a healer. It really sucks that I didn’t re roll a different toon when I realized I didn’t enjoy that aspect of warrior but I didn’t. If I could do it all over again I’d go warlock or mage. What do some of you warriors do to combat the crappy 1v1 situations and endlessly being kited? I use FAP, rocket helm and boots already.
I’m not a master of this by any means, but sometimes you can use the terrain and other situational things to give you a better chance. Sometimes you can use things like LoS and hills to negate other players’ advantages. I try to always be looking for weird things like that to pull the situation off-script. Also looking past the avatar and being able to understand/predict the player’s mindset is helpful in many situations.
Especially if the 1v1 is happening organically in a battleground, you don’t necessarily always need to cleanly win the duel in order to win the exchange for your team. Sometimes it’s just as good to pull your enemy out of position, waste their time/cd’s, or stall until the situation evolves.

What???
Why are you even asking about 1v1 situations? WoW isn’t in Classic, nor in any expansion ever a game that is balanced around 1v1.
Geared warriors using their abilities properly shouldn’t have problems in 1v1 situations unless it’s a frost mage who has unlimited time. Not sure how you’re having issues with the godly r13 set and faps though. You should be able to crush just about anyone if you’ve got a decent weapon. Are you still using TUF or something?

Use a Fap and does bloodrage break polly?
No, only way for warriors to break poly on their own is skull of impending doom.
What about pre-poping a resto pot?
Resto pot + rocket helm ussually does it for me in a 1v1 with a mage. That said I have lifegivng gem which is massive in almost any 1v1 match up as a warrior.
The other thing is, the warrior is God mode in group situations with heals and dispels. If you dont find that fun and only want to duel then yeah, you rolled the wrong class. This is really common knowledge though and I would think that a player who grinds to rank 13 would know this before even starting the honor grind.

I use my (scrub) warrior as either a blocker, countering attacks on healers and ranged dps or as a blitzer, Charge their front line and intercept into their back lines being as disruptive as possible.
1v1 is rough unless the OPFOR is terrible, but even in defeat a Warrior is still cool!
Because he didn’t. He’s posting on a random alt lol
He’s asking for advice dude, chill.

There are nightmares. Polymorph is a dumb spell in PvP. Entrapment frost trap is a dumb spell in PvP.
I typically don’t take PvP advice from boomers on this forum.
As opposed to zoomers who came from the piano rotations of retail PvP over the past 10 years?
Warriors win 1v1’s vs any other melee class. They have an answer for anything. The only classes warriors struggle against are priests and mages due to the bubbles keeping you from generating rage. If you pop a rage pot, you’ll still win those fights.
Do you ever say anything that’s not woefully uninformed? Warriors have ONE answer for everything, and it’s charge > Hamstring > MS > can I execute yet. Any class that can interrupt that pattern will win against a warrior.
My god though, a druid saying that warriors beat any melee class is a sad sight.

Rogues dodge and overpower just melts them, same with druids. I’m feral and we 100% lose every single 1v1 vs a warrior because they literally have answers for everything. How can you play the most popular overpowered class in classic and be so uninformed?
