<div class="fw-notice">'''Preview guide · reviewed 16 September 2026.''' This page explains the recorded demo, not a tested launch build. Talent articles distinguish source-confirmed ranks from estimates and missing text.</div>

'''Warrior''' — The Warrior preview revolves around melee attacks, Rage, stances, and a choice between damage and shield-focused tools. The demo spellbook records Rage costs; the talent catalog separates Arms, Fury, and Protection.<ref name="preview">Chris Baldwin, [https://talentsforever.com/warrior Talents Forever], [https://talentsforever.com/data.json CC BY 4.0 data export], snapshot 16 September 2026. Community transcription of BlizzCon demo footage and slides; checked 16 September 2026. Adapted and summarized for this guide. See [[Project:Talent data]] for evidence labels and attribution.</ref>

| Arms || Weapon attacks, bleeding targets, and stance changes. Read the interaction between Rend and Overpower before comparing weapon talents. || [[Bloodthrill]], [[Weaponmaster]], [[Spearing Strike]], [[Mortal Strike]]
|-
| Fury || Off-hand attacks, Rage capacity, and repeated melee pressure. Compare the conditions on Rage generation rather than treating every resource bonus as equivalent. || [[Dual Wield Specialization (Warrior)]], [[Boundless Rage]], [[Raging Blows]], [[Bloodthirst]]
|-
| Protection || Shield-dependent defenses and threat tools. Equipment requirements matter when comparing an offensive talent with a defensive one. || [[Master of Defense]], [[Vanguard]], [[Bastion]], [[Shield Slam]]

== Abilities and changes worth checking ==
These are summarized from the pinned community demo transcription. Baseline spells and talents are identified separately where the source supports that distinction.<ref name="preview" />
* '''Victory Rush.''' The snapshot records a baseline attack that heals after a qualifying kill. It belongs in the spellbook discussion rather than the talent list.
* '''Tactical Mastery.''' The preview places basic Rage retention in the spellbook. [[Improved Tactical Mastery]] is the separate Arms investment that extends it.
* '''Thunder Clap and Shield Block.''' The transcription allows Thunder Clap in Defensive Stance and records two baseline Shield Block charges. Both are worth checking before importing an old Classic tanking routine.

== Plan a first beta session ==
These are suggested checks for learning the class and collecting useful evidence; they are not claims about the strongest build.
* For a stance-changing setup, record Rage immediately before and after each stance change; separate the baseline passive from talent bonuses.
* For a shield setup, keep the shield requirement in view when comparing Master of Defense, Bastion, and offensive alternatives.
* For Spearing Strike, distinguish ordinary targets, the named creature types, and mounted players. A situational effect is not a universal damage increase.

== Race choice ==
Use [[Race and class combinations#Warrior|the Warrior race list]] to separate officially announced additions from the broader preview roster. Follow the linked [[Races|race guides]] for recorded racials; a racial tooltip does not establish a universal best choice.

== What remains unresolved ==
The exact live Rage-generation formula, final training levels, and level-60 damage ordering are not established by this guide. An ability missing from a level-38 demo spellbook does not establish its removal.

For corrections, record the game build, character level, spell or talent rank, and the observed interaction. Follow [[Project:Data policy]] and compare against [[Warrior talents]] before replacing preview information.
