How Powerful Are Warriors? - World of Warcraft Lore 

And I have enough expertise to wield all kinds of weapons and I am the most skilled with it. I don't need stealth or magic to do massive damage. I can wear the best armour that can protect me from magic. I am not bound to cast times and can move freely and fast over the battlefield

I like to see the best warrior as if they were some genetic freak who transcended their mortality. Jumping 10 meter high, carrying 2ton and cutting through metal with their own sword

@@bigmonke2899 So basically I am an Andy.

So you want the Orc from the burning crusade's intro that sliced the 2 naga in half and kept going.

That was so puny i forgot to laugh! XD XD XD

savage

Weeaboo Jones really? You cant grasp the concept of a team called the warriors losing after having a 3-1 lead?

@@thefrayindavison im assuming hes a diehard fan lmfao

Lol

If you would apply real physics in this ranking, then the Warrior would use the cast time of magic spells to throw a weapon that is in reality with cloth armour and all always deadly or he would take cover or he would simply dodge because spells are a lot slower than arrows. Ice bolts would simply break on the plate armour, firebolts can be blocked with a shield or something. If in reality a common mage attacks an common warrior, he would lose. It is also harder to master the art of magic than the art of combat. That's why there are so many warriors within the main heros of Azeroth, more than mages. Because you have to be very talented to be a great or master mage but you only have to do right training and have the right teachings to be a real warrior and not just a soldier.

@@bigmonke2899 tadaa heroic throw, tadaa shattering throw. seriously dude. warriors have many skills that can be used against casters.

@@demonpride1975 yeah right? And while they only do a number of damage in ingame, they would probably oneshot a Mage with cloth Armour in reality

@@bigmonke2899 the point to heroic throw is the pushback, shattering throw was to destroy barriers.

@@demonpride1975 yeah dude but my point is that the guy who wrote the comment tried to debunk warriors with real life mechanics. And if for example an arms warri would throw his weapon in real life, he would have a big disadvantage. And also no matter what name the throw is, when a 2h weapon that is bigger than you, comes at you, you're dead in rl

Doronsmovies thanks for taking your time to do these videos, they are very much interesting and well made!

Thanks, appreciate it. :)

Thanks Dorons, great video.

Doronsmovies you should do monks next!!!

hey Doronsmovies thanks for all the great content. I know you've got alot to cover but I'd love to see some new priest videos, it seems people have alot of misconceptions about them.

In fact they can

it takes far more skill to be a warrior then a hunter. so yeah much more badass.

Agreed! Everyone is using magic while we just get pissed and smash everything lol it’s awesome

It's the class I play when I wanna just be in the savage don't think just destroy the problem kinda head space but the lore behind pally and and dk is far more believable and more immersive in the 2h plate, but if u want lore power DH mage and especially lock scratch that itch

@@demonpride1975 Idk about that....(butchery, skinning, tracking, marksmanship etc. What does warrior need to know? They are just meatheads.)

Also the warriors the player plays is vastly more magical than normal warriors. They legit heal through rage

The main reason is because the video would have been an hour long as theres almost 10 different warrior types for each playable race. Also in the warcraft universe 260 lbs is nothing when you have a 1500lbs 10 feet tall tauren.

Doronsmovies Okay. So you just had to pick a couple types. Understandable.

knights are completely different too warriors.

Thibaut Sonnet truth

Aye, the warrior you play is more like The Hulk or Conan the Barbarian. Rage gives them more power, they heal faster than normal through cellular regeneration, their battle instinct is top peak and the strength of over 30 men.

This+ligth This+no honor+ necromence

It's the reason I main warrior in Classic. There's just something about interrupting a mage's polymorph or a warlock's fear with a hard punch to the gut that makes me go "screw your fancy spells, take THIS". Best feeling ever.

I always preferred to not have too much armor on orcs and tauren. Although armor would be their biggest strength since a 600kg, 3.5 meter tall tauren would be able to wear insanely heavy armor without breaking a sweat.

Doronsmovies yeah there'd be no point to all that muscle if they're not using it to wear more xD If WoW had one of those versatile skill level systems that's not necessarily better (like in skyrim/eso) Tauren would be OP with that heavy weight lifting. I mean imagine Tauren casters with plate armor xD

Dancer of the Frigid Valley rx,,ydydyd

M4xxY vol'jin was poisoned by our enemies

Fel Poison

It was a single blade. Varian took two and it didn't show signs of him dying by the fel poison

He was impaled completely by a blade with fel energy. Sure in gameplay demon attacks don't really affect us that much, but in lore fel energy feeds off of life, so it could definitely counteract Trolls' regeneration if the wound was lethal enough. As much as I hate Vol'jin dying the way he did, that's the way it went. I'm hoping that there's a way to bring him back, he does have the favor of Bwonsamdi, the Loa of death so maybe that will come into play later.

Maybe trolls cant regenerate through fel poisoning?

gnome warrior are the biggest bullcrap in wow. It makes no sense at all (even in wow logic standards). They would fight a pissed orc wielding an axe with what? a fucking Spoon as mace and a pan lid as shield? cmon..

They can literally be killed by rats. Either it was in a quest I read or a story somewhere while mentioning how they made the deeprun tram.

Cynical Nitro it was in the book beyond of the dark Portal :)

and then he got destroyed in a 1v1

@@JesperRoos against an also powerful warrior and the goat shaman in Azeroth. I think it's no shame he lost

That's the point. That's what makes the difference between just a foot soldier who only wields a weapon and a warrior who has much more strength and better training than any other soldier. It's like comparing knights or samurai with the footsoldiers of their time. It doesn't make sense.

@@JesperRoos yes and thrall cheated, don't agree with me, that's why the elements don't answer to him anymore. even the elements knows he cheated. that's also why doom hammer doesn't work for him anymore.

@@demonpride1975 thats not the reason the doomhammer and elements dont work for him

Orcs are descended from the Collossals who are a titan creation of Aggramar to combat against the Wild Growth in Gorgrond.

ummmm his mass was increased because he was infused with the spirit of lo'gosh a warrior spirit.

Francesco Giacovelli honestly, skill>magic

"They don't need undead or demonic power" Me: (Thinks about the forsaken and orc bloodlust) "Great warriors can survive to spells that would kill anyone else" Me: (Remembers Bwonsamdi's quote to warriors on death: "All that heavy armor didn't do ya much good, did it? Haha haha)

Also, the monks were made specifically to fight warriors. Zhu only lost to Garrosh because his foot got stuck. Why he didn't fire a Chi blast to keep Garrosh away while he got himself loose is beyond me.

Cynical Nitro Because he didn’t have time to do so with fuckin Garrosh going 100% on you that’s the scariest sight you might see in your life. Another reason why Zhu < Garrosh

@@cynicalnitro8416 his chi blast did nothing to garrosh besides pushing the monk back himself

Planning to finish the series in a few months, hopefully by the end of the year.

mages next please god!

I was thinking about doing something special for Halloween and there was even a collab planned but probably nothing will happen at this point. However I do plan to talk about other non playable lore classes.

Doronsmovies yey

that's what I'm saying

i kill warriors as my pally in bgs every day

@@Ubertrollz69420 i think the point he was making, is that just because warriors don't use spells, does not mean they are pointless.

demonpride1975 I meant that in game they can be easy to deal with if they dint have a healer

Also, if we going to talk about it "lore wise". Any magic user needs a tremendous amount of time before even being able to cast something that would be effective enough to damage someone instead of just pummeling him.

He tricked Kairoz. In a 1v1 duel, Kairoz could literally eat Garrosh so please, check your facts...

Ah you noticed Garrosh used a warrior ability called taunt and his cunning to defeat the dragon not his power. Remember most of the spells in game are not really spells. When a warrior for example taunts a target to attack it lore wise all he is doing is cursing and calling the guy out. Battlecry is just some fucking guy yelling something inspiring, not a spell.

You're talking about a named person. This seems to be about skilled warriors w/o being named and having a legend/hero status.

what about grommash vs mannoroth ? and that druid

you have broxigar. Stfu.

Cameron Smith o nice one character whos never shown up in any game and never will. No need to be dick mate.

what about muradin? can he not use storm bolt?

Thorim is based off of thor which uses lightning, so there is your storm bolt

Actually the shock wave skill is pretty easy to do. Just hit a fucking mace with powerful strength in a shield, and there is a shock wave. Or hit two swords against each other.. anyway, did you get the idea?

All of those are because of The Artifacts, you take godly weapons and no matter what class you are you would be powerful In game information is exaggerated or changed compared to actual lore (books, cinematics, etc etc) DH and DKs are both more than a match for them as DKs are just as strong and enhanced by necromantic magic and DHs are used to fighting opponents more than twice their size and Strength Of course though like all things it depends more on the individual than the class

toxicTerror agreed for example a blood DK with the Maw of the Damned can just feed on the blood and soul of even the most powerful warrior,consumming him without sustaining any injuries the artifacts are making heroes way more powerful,able to defy gods themselves

toxicTerror I'm a noob, may I ask what a DK and DH are?

Death Knight,Demon Hunter

ANimouz yeah man warrior would slaughter them!!!

No way that would take a years worth of work. Also I think the reason for that is because before they did machinimas similar to what youtubers do and now they do it all in a 3d program so animations and the environment look a lot more natural.

Doronsmovies Yeah you're right, it's the only real explanation. It's still tragic though!

Old or not, that cinematic is still one of the most amazing, in my opinion. The old models don't even bother me. Putress's voice just makes it.

Some Putress did in fact make it perfect. And his contributions to the lore just make him a really cool character to think about. He cured the plague that occurred before wrath of the lich king and then he did this shit at the wrathgate. He's really cool. I just don't like that in the end he turned out to basically be the puppet of a dreadlord. It makes his death feel somewhat tragic imo. But while the cinematic is great, Bolvar's mouth and beard just ruin everything. The only old model that looks good enough in the cinematic is undead Bolvar, and Tirion, strangely enough. Putress looks great either way just because that's an awesome set to begin with though.

*WOD PLAYER ALERT*

their armor wont do anything vs being with high lvls of magic or ones with high armor vs high lvls of magic too like DK and pally. Lore wise they are pretty weak compare to others.

Jody Boles Specific armor with specific ways to nulify certain magics are very effective, as I said, warriors are the most power flexible class. Plus my main argument here was more against other plate armor users than magic really, but if you want an explanation then materials like Saronite help nulify certain magics and can be used in specific fights, but I'll give it to you that a destruction warlock would desintegrate most warriors. Also you're forgetting the factor "shields" and as I gave an exemple, the polar of a protection warrior would definetly give one hell of a fight against the Deathlord or even the Ashbringer. And btw, magic users in plate armor usually go so far. Paladins, for exemple, to be extremely effective need to wear certain types of armor, such as Mithril or Truesilver or in some cases purified saronite, metals that can easily channel the power of the Light. Dk's only use Saronite. And if a warrior is using, say, an Arcanite Bladebreaker, you will die unless you're a prot Pally.

Billy -Elawhore- McBill Good luck killing Dk even more so a blood one that will drain your life away lol. Those armor can only do so much and since they dont have no real abilities like Dk and pally do then they just dont stand a chance regardless what you wear.

Jody Boles You are underestimating how powerful metals found on Azeroth are. And again, Truesilver and Saronite are not really that much of a big deal compared to something that's specifically made to surpass any material found on Azeroth (Arcanite Bladebreaker). Also you are forgeting that there are materials sturdier and fair exceptionally well against other magics,something that Paladins and Death Knights are limited (While Both classes can only wear certain types of materials, sometimes sacrificing protection, warriors can grab the strongest material without giving any fucks and make it into an impenetrable fortress). And do keep in mind most warrior polars are incredibely resillient, they won't just fall down or completely be rendered useless like most classes if they are hitted by a disease or having their life slowly being drained (How do blood dk's drain someone's life if their spells can't get past their armor? I mean, Blood Dk's don't ave the destructive power Warlocks have so I really have difficulty in trying to understand what would Blood Magic do to someone who's wearing full metal armor with additional reinforcements on the games and wearing a chainmail made by the same material as the plate armor wth a fair ammount of magical properties that can aid against other magic effects such as Blood magic). An exemple is Broxigar resisting the spells up to 3 Night elven sorcerers and he was wearing no armor whatsoever. Again, I'm not underestimating other classes and I do think warriors, on average, are kinda weak, but their polars have unique abilities, traits and skills that are the key to most victories. hence why they will surpass anyone in melee combat and even give some tough fights against magic users (especially trained prot warriors). By the way, I'll say again, the part where you are complaining is where I am talking about the wielder of the Scale of Neltharion and the Arcanite Bladebreaker argument was used to proove that warriors can receive weapons that are far mroe superior to Death Knight or Paladin metals. In terms of melee, they are obviously very powerful and are more flexible in choosing what they want to wear, but I do agree that they get utterly destroyed by classes such as the Mage or the Warlock with the exception, of the polar of the Protection Warrior.

Billy -Elawhore- McBill you act like the armor resist magic entirely which is not the the case even more so if the magic is very powerful. Even the best armor will lessen the effect of magic at best when face against very strong magic even from pally and DK. Also Blood DK can drain your life because it doesnt block it entirely and the Dreadlord has Maw of the Damned. A weapon so strong that it can suck the life away from any being. Hell it was made to drain/kill Kil'jaeden. If its strong enough to drain the life of him then no armor will be enough to stop that blade haha. Even if you have great armor and have Arcanite Bladebreaker, it still wouldnt be enough compare to a DK or even a pally of the same level since they have so many buffs,healings and DKs bring able to weaken you with diseases and overall undead allowing them to fight harder then any warrior could ever dream. Besides they too have weapons that are strong if not stronger with powerful enchantment and runes to empower it beyond anything a weapon can be made out of. Overall the warrior is only as good as the armor/weapon they will along with skill too but DK has that along with tons of other things to make it almost unstoppable at its best compare to warriors.

i came to the conclusion that away from superior streght. they can use weapons and armour with magical properties, or made from ancient and rare materials

Pure logic,no one beats warriors

Taurens aren't bulls. They're based on cows but they aren't cows. Cows still exist in WoW.

ohhhh right

Gufran Tagar They are humanoids.

Matinee Reis humanoids are the races with some human characteristics as hands

A better question is why a worgen druid would need to turn into a cat. An even better question is why a worgen druid would need to turn into a saberon.

Warriors in this setting CAN be the VERY BEST. Problem is, the CLASS is usually LOW. That's what matters. Almost anyone can train to be a warrior, and almost every warrior is essentially fodder in batter, more meant to die than anyone else, but the ones that survive it all, or ensure their side's victory, or die the most glorious death - they were among the best. The warrior is the class that says that the battle is above all - it doesn't matter if you can (insert spell etc) if you still get countered and die.

Dude, anyone can be anything, dedication is all that is needed.

Tell that to the dead Demon Hunter trainees.

Well... they weren't dedicated enough :). Groom Hellscream One-Shoted Manaroth... Twice :D and he wasn't a Demon Hunter. And Illidan got knocked out for a little by a random Pit Lord on his raid on Mardum, in Harbrigen Illidan.

Uh, ok.

Human Arms Warriors might as well be Guts. It's so lore friendly and appropriate

Short answer Varian dead Arthas victorious (If it was undead Arthas) or else probably equal

no in the varian book it was stated that varian was always supurior than arthas in close combat (sword or bare hand) thats when they were still teens i guess? however its a diffrence if undead arthas is stronger than varian.

Definitely will do it. I am kind of saving them for later though, already got a lot of things planned that I want to talk about.

Ok thanks alot for replying ^_^

monks seem very powerfull with their chi based attacks,so it will surely be an interesting video

muhammad you're a bit wrong.....first: don't listen people who talk about dk or dh stronger than warriors. They are powerful, sure, but in melee fighting warriors are the best; Second: cenarius was not a druid, but a demigod, and, I don't like to say it, but grommash won also because the help of mannoroth and he didn't fought alone....yeah, that's true....but he killed all alone mannoroth, so it doesn't matter if he had a little help against cenarius: he remains one of the strongest character in the whole Warcraft story

btw i play a mage -.-

Are you sure they cannot do that?

well warlocks are physically weak as fuck so I don't think he could even lift the axe nor close the gap to make the strike a monk maybe but monks are trained more in hand-to-hand combat than weapons like a warrior is

That Guy You say that (Warlocks are physically weak), but Gul'dan is pretty jacked, yet is a warlock. Gul'man. Now, not saying they're all on par with melee in strength or anything, but just living and fighting in Azeroth disproves that spellcasters are weak.

MC Kappa If your talking about Gul'dan from the movie I would like to point out that the movie and games have separate lore, but in the Nighthold raid we are fighting Gul'dan and a model as been found awhile ago of him looking very "jacked" but I'm pretty sure he was being empowered my Sarageras himself, (it doesn't say his name it just says master)

That Guy No I'm referring to the WoW variant of Gul'dan. It's just simply reasonable to assume that all adventures (Especially Player characters) are physical fit, regardless of their class. Gul'dan is an orc, so it's unlikely he would be frail. Not mention the blood he consumed, and now as you mentioned, Sargaeras (Though I thought it was Kil'Jaedan that has empowered him?).
