Warriors... Sucking?

in World of Warcraft
OK well from reading up on forums and on MIRC. I have noticed that warriors are very poor PVPErs. They can get killed by a Warlock or a Mage very easily. Any views on this"?

    WEll, I belive warlocks are probably the best class for pvp... Fear is a pvp spell and makes it nearly impossible to die. Just fear and attack, fear and attack over and over... And the range of a mage I could understand dessimating warriors. Most likely any ranged class will always get the final blow in a raid.

    I think that warriors should recieve an anti fear passive ability or something

    I beleve they do have a talent option for reducing the chance to be feared :)

    But I think it maxes at 15%.

    Actually, i've heard just the opposite. From what i've been hearing sounds like the warrior is completely unbalanced, and pretty much owns anything in it's path, i've heard warrior has the highest DPS, and it's also a tank, and it becomes so strong most of it's abilities become pointless because a normal strike is stronger than using an ability. But, I don't know this from experience, just what i've been hearing, but if it is true than warriors need to be nerfed if anything, but a lot of classes do. But, i feel like rogue is getting nerfed, but that's another story.

    As long as they balance, it and dont make the casters or ranged über in PVP like D2:LoD with Sorc and Ama...

    I tried out a Warrior in the ST, and holy shit was it fun.  Most fun warrior class in any game.  They have this charge skill that you'd think would be good against ranged characters, but I didn't have much of a taste of PvP so I don't know how well it would work.  Blizzard has the right idea and I'm sure with some balancing, Warriors, among all other classes in WoW, will not feel they are nerfed regarding PvP.

    Played Stress test and was playng a lvl 20 Warrior.

    In Pvp i easily beat:

    lvl 23 Hunter,
    Lvl 23 Priest,
    lvl 19 Paladin,
    lvl 18 hunter,


    Only time i lost was when they ganged up on me, generally when i got feared i would run out of the warlocks range anyways. Its group pvp afterall.

    Warrior has the charge ability so by time u hit within range of either hunter/mage/warlock they get one decent shot in then you do this:

    1. Charge (stuns them)
    2. Hamstring (hits them as they are stunned)
    3. Bash them with combat melee.

    Notice that Warrior = best meleer so once you broke that range you pretty much won if you aint lost too many hps. Hamstring stops them from running away and if they do it means easy kill for you as you just run after them slicing away :P.

    I enjoyed my Tauren Warrior greatly.

    It does work but now you can only use it "out of combat" which means if a ranged player attacks you then you cannot use charge as you are in combat...so now you got to be the one making the first move otherwise forget about charge :/

    HELLO...Earth to you...

    Around stress warriors were probably TOO powerful. If you keep up with the warrior threads you will see that, because of that and a lot of complaining, they had their offensive talent line nerfed into oblivion, Charge nerfed to futility and Hamstring made the weakest of all the in-game snares (ie a hamstrung Shaman can outrun a totem snared warrior.)

    They had one powerful skill combo in PVP, charge then hamstring...period. But, par for the course, others complained and it was removed.

    Yes, I should have stated I was speaking to those who were saying they heard that Wars were awesome. They are about 30 days behind. ::::35::
