Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Care and Feeding of Warriors, the column dedicated to arms, fury and protection warriors. Despite repeated blows to the head from dragons, demons, Old Gods and whatever that thing over there was, Matthew Rossi will be your host.

Frankly, I wrote a serious post this week about tanking that you may want to read. As a result of that post, however, and previous week’s posts for this column that were fairly weighty, I find myself desperately wanting to shift gears.

With the announcement of transmogrification in patch 4.3, it’s finally time to discuss a few truths.

Warriors have had some of the best-looking gear in the game.

We’re finally going to be able to use whichever pieces of gear we want.

Like, for instance, the Whirlwind Axe. One of three weapons awarded to a warrior for doing the pre-Cataclysm level 30 to 40 warrior quest chain, the one that ended with Death to Cyclonian. If you didn’t roll your warrior before Cata or deleted the weapon, fret not; there are several weapons with the same model.Continue reading The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Transmogging for the warriorFiled under: Warrior, Analysis / Opinion, The Burning Crusade, (Warrior) The Care and Feeding of Warriors, Wrath of the Lich King, CataclysmThe Care and Feeding of Warriors: Transmogging for the warrior originally appeared on WoW Insider on Sat, 27 Aug 2011 18:00:00 EST.
