DPS warriors are lazy shits who either think tanking is "too hard" or they're so shit at it they had to respec because they're utterly useless and for some unfathomable reason unable to spam sunder armor and shouts to keep aggro.

if shits want to PvP as a pure DMG class go rogue and spec subtlety, because DPS warriors are just a waste of space
Its amazing the amount of warriors I see running around In leather armor these days. I have to wonder how many rogues lost gear to these guys. Before I quit vanilla a decade ago, you never saw warriors wearing leather.

This says more about the Warriors that you played with 10 years ago than anything else.

There should be an exclusive option for warriors to change their class to rogue at 60. It might be good for the server as a whole. I'm proud to say that I've never equipped any leather armor in all my years as a warrior. We have plenty of plate with hit% on it. Let the feral druids and rogue have their leather.

Not everyone puts prio on RPing a knight in shining armor. Instead they focus more on putting out good numbers.

Level 59 warrior here that's happy to tank :).

Add References to your friend's list in game to tank anything BRD or higher, should be 60 by late night 7/10/2015 EST. Just wanted to throw some love into this thread.

It's also a lot easier to watch Netflix while doing mindless damage than having to make sure stuff isn't running all over the place.

That's all fine and good, but if the dynamics of the game dictate that a warrior be a knight in shining armor than that's the way it's going to be.

I disagree about that. I know leather class should have priority on leather , but a warrior could be in leather. Its like the white bandit mask, cloth item that give +11 agi +11str. In Vanila there a lot of strange thing , but that what make it exciting

DPS warriors are forced to use lots of rogue loot. So are hunters.

This was a problem until WotLK. (Anyone remember the Felmyst pants?)
