For an Alliance player, a Dwarf can also be a good choice here - Stone form can keep you alive longer and help defend against spell casters, and the Dwarven statistics are also very high red war gold.

It is also worth pointing out that Trolls get an advantage with ranged attacks immediately and health regeneration, and also that the Undead’s Will of the Forsaken can come in very handy while fighting casters.

The Gnome’s Escape Artist can also be useful against mages and druids. Whatever you choose, is sure to familiarize yourself with your race’s advantages and disadvantages, so that you can best use them on the field of battle. These can greatly help you during your beginning game.

While the basics of being a warrior remain the same - get into melee and kill anything that moves - World of Warcraft is unique among MMORPGs in that it actually integrates a large amount of skill and options into the largely-melee class.

Just like any other MMORPG, World of Warcraft has a system in place to separate the experienced players from the non-experienced. This works through having your character gain experience (XP) whenever they do something important to the game.
