What class works best with a Warrior?
Alliance side... fuck, I dunno.
Serious answer; Druid, on either faction. Sean fucked around with this message on 11-15-2005 at 03:50 PM.
It's not something people hear about.

PvE, you can never go wrong with a Holy-spec priest. PvP, I'd have to say probably a shaman or paladin, since they're a lot harder to kill.
Holy-spec priest is kinda overkill imo. Shaman gives you 'enough' healing and leaves you with some flexibility.

Dual boxing in WoW seems like it would be fairly challenging. Considering how much faster paced it is then EQ was.
For duo'ing i'd say a Holy specc'd priest with Healing Subtlety to keep the amount of swapping attention between computers to a minimum. A lot of the different abilities that you could use with other classes (Shaman, Druid, Paladin) would probably be lost in the fact that you're going to be paying most of your attention to the Warrior so they'll just end up a heal bot and for pure healing, a Priest can do it best even if it might be overkill.

A holy spec priest is utter overkill, a warrior with bandages can heal himself for questing / grinding if needed. Try a warlock, send in your succubus, pile on two dots, switch to the warrior to taunt off and tank until the mob dies. Mod fucked around with this message on 11-15-2005 at 04:21 PM.

Holy spec is probably unnecessary for duoing. A shadow spec priest would be much better in a two man group IMO.

You'd have to keep clicking mind flay, shadowblast and renew. When twoboxing you want to keep your attention to one monitor, then swap to the other disregarding the first. If you constantly have to do things on both monitors you're just going to mess up sooner or later and warriors are a pretty involved class.
Honestly though, two-boxing isn't really fun or profitable in WoW, most places are either soloable or require a six person group, there isn't that much in the game that two people can do and one cannot.
If anything you would just hit 60 slower at like the same speed...
Heck, maybe slower

As I was going to post before my power suddenly went out for the fourth damn time today ( 
GRR I AM ANGRY GRRGH), my brother and I tried a Shadow spec Priest duo'ed with a PvP/Tank spec Warrior. It didn't work at all. I tanked my best, and he was still drawing aggro like nuts.
Although you need to sacrifice DPS, one of the best duo teams is a Tank spec warrior (possibly PvP/Tank spec) and a Holy spec priest. The tank can keep aggro well enough, the priest isn't drawing too much, and the priest is better than any other class at keeping that warrior alive. This has been the case with pretty much every MMORPG out there, if I'm not mistaken. I know if you were going to dual-box independently at all in EQ, you played a Warrior/Cleric duo.
Anything past 20 points in holy is just a waste, and 31 a complete and total joke. All the deep holy talents affect the non-flash heal heals... and as much as I love Gheal, I do only ever have time to get one off for like every 14 flash heals, heh

You fool! Don't you realize that's their only form of DPS?!!??!?!
Wait...what do you mean Druids are healers? GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
Seriously, though, Druids are one of those hard-to-kill healers almost on par with Paladins.

I think most druids would be happy to be rid of innervate. The ability forces them to spec 31 points down the restoration tree if they want to raid at all. Kills any chance at variation for the class.

That's still the problem with most trees.
They did pretty well with the Hunter trees, making BM as good as MM. Warriors and Druids still essentially have just one talent tree.

Its not that druids have one talent tree; they're all pretty good. It just so happens that, argueably, the best ability in the game in the 31 point talent for druids in the restoration tree. As a result, druids are pretty much required to spec for that talent no matter what they want to play. At least other classes have sone choices, including warriors.

I rather like the feral tree, giving me a 20% chance to crit on every hit has made soloing alot easier.

A lot of the druids in my guild are either Feral or Moonkin. It works pretty well, especially in high end instances. Higher crit rates means bosses go down faster.
And yes, for PVE raiding innervate is freaking sick. I think all of the top-end raiding guilds on my server pretty much require druids to have at least 31 into restoration. It sucks for them.
We will also probably see something similar with paladins in 1.9. I am predicting the holy tree having something that paladins pretty much have to get for raiding. There are quite a few that are gearing up in hopes of dishing out damage, but that won't be the case. It pretty much always happens with any class that can heal (high-end).
Warriors do have some flexibility. Mortal strike is sick for sure, but a fury build can do more sustained damage overtime. There's also the protection tree, I know a warrior who swears by shield slam for PVP. And I guess it works, since he's one of the more "hated" alliance warriors in the battlegrounds. Mortal strike allows any warrior to do halfway decent in pvp and pve damage, though. Plus it has more utility than fury.
Rogue because of the fact that Warriors can grab aggro easy enough to let the rogue backstab lots
Hunters because of the HUGE ranged damage they can inflict, and not to mention the pets.
Other than that, any healer with a warrior would do.
A druid is more suited for a rogue partner. Druid/rogue duos are sick.

That's true and that's cool, but being able to stun, bless, and heal... it gets pretty insane with the rogue going apeshit
