because sometimes you don’t need to be fancy with magic to kill your target. Sometimes…
… and that’s all you need. And that’s all I need. The simplicity of using a big, f@#$-off axe to chunk off big, meaty bits of the enemy’s body IS the fantasy of the warrior.
I like to hit things very hard.
Nothing like beating someone to death with a floppy fish.
Paladins are just Warriors that can cast spells for things like shields, self heals, and group assistance. I say this as someone who has played Paladin since he started playing the game, Warriors are genuinely more chad and badass than any Paladin.
Why, you may ask? Because Warriors don’t need any of those shield or healing spells to assist them in fights. Because Warriors can survive all on their own just by continuing to beat the hell out of whatever it is they’re attacking. Because Warriors are strong, capable, successful, and above all brutal, without the need for any crutch a Paladin might require.
That being said, I like playing both equally, and since I’ve returned to the game I’ve been working towards finally unlocking Zandalari so I can start a new Warrior from scratch. Why Zandalari? Because if there is one race in this game that I like more than Elves, it’s Trolls. And Zandalari are the most chad Trolls you can possibly get IMO. A chad race for a chad class. It fits.
why do nerds gravitate to mage
You’re going to regret your post when bowl cuts and mullets become popular again. It’s the retro era, baby.
Because they like being the first target in twos?
Because the dude that swings a stick does great in pvp once you get some gear.
I don’t know, getting by in a world of magic and monsters with nothing but your strength and skill in battle is pretty damn cool.
Being the “all-in” aggressive melee archetype is generally the most desirable fantasy archetype in any fantasy game. That and the Dark/Holy Warrior.
Because Mage is the most optimal class.
Reliably top tier in all forms of content.
Fastest leveling.
most efficient farming.
Mages scream efficiency, which attracts nerds who are looking to min/max every second of their gameplay.
I know your probably going to bring up people like Varian, Garrosh and Lord Brox. But they all had magical weapons or sought out magic to get stronger.
where can I find one of these medical weapons
Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil; Cause I carry a big stick, and I’m the baddest cat in the valley.
This is always my #1 answer of why I play Warrior. Charge is awesome and the newer animation is even cooler. Playing it as Dark Iron… “RAAAAAAAA” is so hardcore.
Anger is a driving force. That driving force compels you to bonk. Bonking is cathartic. Then anger builds again. Its a cycle.
There’s something awesome about being in a fantastical world filled with magic and dragons but getting by with your strength and martial training alone. When you think about it warriors are the biggest badasses in lore.
do me a favor and go grab a shovel and a rake from your garage and spin around for a 20-30 seconds strait, maintaining the same speed the entire time, then sprint off in one direction right into marshaled combat with your neighbor.
then tell me there is no cool fantasy…
Warriors are great and come in many flavors. I’m a scrawny wizard with arcane in my blood that I use to make myself better at bonking people with a stick.
Orc smash is just as good too
Yea warriors are very much the charge in RRAAWWWRRRR in your face fun times class!
