Warrior in PVP

[The Zrogfather]

I am protection-specced, and I must say that the only thing I do very effectively in PVP (WSG) is Hamstring and Concussion Blow (which I think it rather unexpected from a warrior). Both of them are most useful when attempting to stop people from taking out your team's flag-carrier, or stopping THEIR flag carrier.

I DID use both my 1h + shield and my 2h weapon, but I must admit that most of the time I died to spell damage rather than melee, so I wish I had some resists (mostly nature and frost).

The bane of my thus-far PVP existence was a druid that kept rooting me. Must get more anti-root items! I'm thinking Ornate Mithril Boots. I have the Spider Belt, but its cooldown is terrible...

Use of one's mount is actually really important even in WSG's small area - use your mount to overtake the enemy flag carrier you are pursuing. VERY IMPORTANT - there's hardly any other way to catch him unless you pop a Swiftness potion or are a mage with Blink.

hmmm....entirely diff for alterac pvp
it helps to be offensive minded as there always seems to be more casters than melee fighters

i too use hamstring but mostly on the melee fighters who try to rush in and out or when zerging a fleeing fighter

mounts r a liability as u r not able to attack from them, however, occasionally someone will try to flank with a mount so as to gain easy access to a graveyard but is often run down and punished for their efforts

casters also seem to use Fear or Confuse a lot on melee fighters which can be annoying...

also, unless u r uber u better carry a shield...nuff said

But shields don't help against spell damage unless you happened to find one with a resistance attribute?

I guess they help against hunters, though...

btw...magic resistance potion does not help when fighting shaman

i guess totems are not considered magic...sigh
