Do you use any macros for weapon switch for shield bash? What types of Mobs would be ideal grinding materal? I am used to cloth class grinding, what would I be looking for while playing a melee class?
Switching from 2-hander to 1-hand/shield is a waste from my experience. Pummel (berserker stance ability) does the same thign as shield bash and doesnt require a shield equipped and since pummel and shield bash are on linked cooldown timers pummel is more efficient.
Ideal grinding material for warriors is anything with low armor, usually caster-type mobs because you can interrupt most of their spells and take little damage from their melee.
Are there any "must have" equipment for warriors? I know all Prests/Warlocks/Mages make it a point to go to SM in their 30s and get an Illusionary Rod. I still see 60s walking around with it. What are the easy to get, everyone has, kick ass equipment for comming up warriors?
Here is a comprehensive list of decent Macros to make, nifty UI addons and whatnot that our guild Main Tank (and probably most competent Warrior) uses.
If you need help Tanking in any real way, Geekz would know quite a bit (and I do too). I assume you know that Sunder Armor is your major Aggro holder while Revenge works very well also. Taunt is used to get mobs off of other characters, and just get back to work on generating Hate. I also hear that Heroic Strike actually generates more than normal Hate, so if you need a Rage dump, go for it.
So I'm starting up a warrior and I'd like to know what talents to get sub-40. At 40 I'll probably respec to get mortal strike, but I'm not sure what to go until then.
