I just rerolled a warrior, and so far I am having a blast. But I have no idea what I'm doing. Be in questing or in dungeons. I have no idea what my rotation is, how to hold aggro when asked to tank, what my macros should be or anything. If there is a kind soul who is familiar with these things and would be willing to help me grow into the warrior player I always knew I could be. It would mean the world to me. <3

My big piece of advice is macro your stances onto your side mouse buttons (if you have that kind of mouse), and get the muscle memory of stance dancing down.
I started out making macros for every single ability to auto stance swap for me and at level 39 im regretting it and forcing myself to relearn stance dancing manually.
Swapping manually saves you keybinds and gives you more control over your movement, as your hands never have to leave your movement keys.
Don't use Heroic Strike unless you have more than 50 rage. Rend and Sunder Armor are better damage per rage abilities.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but spamming sunder is great because it gives enemies more chances to dodge and thus proc overpower
Yes and if it lands every attack you will do After that will deal more damage. At 5 sunders you Can spam harmstrings to fish for dodges.
2h axes personally and work towards sweeping strikes and you have a class quest at lvl 30 might want to look that one up. I personally have a macro to switch to shield and sword and cast defensive stance, and a 2h battle stance macro. You should get ravenger from scarlet armory. And keep a button to switch to that weapon whenever you want to aoe (even lategame). It’s helpful to have a friend help you with your whirlwind axe quest, at like lvl 32 you can begin farming the materials for it. Another secret to limiting downtime is saving 5-6 bag slots for gear with high spirit, and whenever you get a piece of gear that has higher spirit you replace an old piece. Then create macros to swap between your fighting gear, and this spirit set, it’s very easy to do and you aren’t replacing gear every level. When you do this you no longer need to buy food ever again, just make sure the macros are up to date. I am level 46 and my spirit set gives me 130 spirit, I heal so fast, I can swap gear on my mount to heal, and if I need to heal faster I just bandage. It’s helpful to have high stamina on your spirit gear as well so you don’t lose health when you swap gear. Also, you either face tank mobs with demo shout, or you hamstring them, run away, and try to match auto attacks 1-1 with the mobs, it’s a learned talent but if you can hamstring you can get away from most mobs about to kill you. SAVE money though you don’t want to be mountless Larry at 44. You only need rank 1 shield bash, rank 1 revenge, rank 1 thunderclap until later etc. GL
Level arms for questing, and world pvp if you are on pvp server. You can tank with this spec as well. Early on to hold agro use, thunder clap, demo shout, and tab target + sunder on all of your enemies.
It’s helpful to have a weapon swap macro, from 1h+shield to your two hand weapon and back.
