Much like Paladins and DKs have cool people to look up to in a lore sense like Arthas and Luthor what do warriors have? I wanna get into the lore and bought a bunch of the books to read, but was just wondering if there are any such characters.
If not I can see myself rerolling to a paladin / Dk or mage lol. so please help me XD
To be honest, i think all high-profile warriors have been killed of over the years. There were Saurfang, Nazgrim, Varian. Still left is Muradin, i really think thats it.
Jarod Shadowsong!
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Jarod_Shadowsong
you forgot Garrosh who also was a warrior, but not realy the most sane one.
I was just posting the ones to âlook upâ to 
He never really stood out to me as a Warrior, more like a Leader
You should have tried the healing mage tower, heâs a fury warrior who likes to play tank.
But he doesnât use any defensives while trying to tank and canât hold aggro to save his life.
There is a reason why the first concept of the warrior order hall was supposed to have the souls of great warriors appear every now and then because thats what they all do: dying.
For the ones still alive: Genn and Darius Crowley, Muradin, Magni and Thargas Anvilmar, maybe Danath Trollbane, the mentioned Jarod.
On Horde maybe Baine, GeyaÂŽrah, HW Cromush, Nazgrel, maybe Eitrigg ,maybe Mayla.
But none of them seem as impactful as Warriors like Grom or Anduin Lothar or Varian except for Muradin.
A few come to mind (Talking about the ones that pulled some crazy feats) such as Garrosh Hellscream (Dueled Varian and Genn in Wolfheart and was not killed, defeated the silly Shado pan leader)
Varian (Not just a super warrior but a Galadiator and chosen of Goldrinn empowered by human potential)
Genn Greymane (Battled Garrosh and dueled Varian in Wolfheart and was almost a match for both)
Gommash (Killed Mannoroth twice)
Jarod Shadowsong (Dueled Archimonde and defeated Maiev in hand to hand combat {Maiev is someone skilled enough to take down Illidan})
Broxigar (Injured Sargeras and arguably the most courageous Warrior to ever live)
For those that think Varok Saurfang is a good warrior I disagree, when matched to powerful opponents he always got crushed unlike the others I named, like that time Malfurion choked and buried him, or Tyrande moonbeamed him to his knees or Sylvanas one shot him.
i dunno zhu looks like he was winning until he was defeated by a faulty bridge rather then garrosh failscream
you forgot Saurfang.
so basically heâs the standart LFR / LFD Warrior.
As far as great warriors go, Broxigar is up there. He heroically sacrificed himself to save the world during the War of the Ancients, and is the only known mortal to have been confirmed to strike and actual, physical blow to Sargeras, or possibly any fully empowered titan. Note that our fights in Argus were not against fully fledged, life-size titans.
Grom Hellscream is another extremely important warrior, who plays a prominent role as the Warchief of the Iron Horde in Warlords of Draenor, and served as the Warchief of the original Fel Horde that invaded Azeroth. He would later heroically sacrifice himself to strike down Mannoroth and free the orcs from the control he had over them through the Fel Blood Curse.
Looking away from the orcs for a moment, Varian is perhaps the most prominent Alliance warrior. Having survived a plot to usurp him by literally cleaving him into two different people - one passive and one violent - he has spent a long time as a top-notch gladiator and has even won the favor of Goldrinn, a demigod. Following with the theme of the warriors listed here, he would of course go on to heroically sacrifice himself for the sake of his comrades while facing off against agents of the Burning Legion.
If those three make out the absolute top-tier of warriors, the second-tier list would probably look something like: Varok and Dranosh Saurfang, Muradin Bronzebeard, the original Kargath Bladefist (The alternate version being more like a rogue than a warrior) literally replaced his limbs with weapons, General Nazgrim and Admiral Taylor for the Horde and Alliance respectively, Cairne Bloodhoof (who had a more spiritual approach to combat than simple honor/glory) and of course Garrosh, although I donât personally count Garrosh among my great warriors, because he relied very heavily on borrowed power.
Who youâd âlook up toâ in an RP sense really depends on what kind of warrior you want to be. Grom and Garrosh are great idols if your idea of what being a warrior means is to be as mighty as possible. Cairne is there if youâre more of a âjust cause and balanceâ-type of warrior, who sees combat as a necessary and natural part of living in a harsh and unforgiving environment. If you are a âjustice!â-type of warrior, Varian is up there. Warriors are ultimately the backbone of any army, and warriors in Warcraft have been known to make good wartime leaders, but their violent tendencies tend to lead to more conflict. They are ultimately driven by rage and a lifelong quest for glory. If they do not fall in honorable combat, like Grom or Varian, they often end up bitter and broken, like Saurfang.
The life of a warrior is often quick and brutal - the flame that burns the brightest is the first one to go out, and no fire burns as brightly as the rage in a true warriorâs eyes when he throws himself against the enemy with reckless abandon! This, of course, means that there are few who live long enough to build a legacy as vast and epic as others, who value self-preservation over glory.
really good reply thank you ^^
Odyn and the Valarjar⊠(and the other titan-forged)
They are the best of the best⊠and in Legion he gathered the best warriors
The other titan-forged are warriors in essence, Thorim, Ra-den and the rest, the Watchers and Keepers
They fougth and destroyed the Black Empire, Elemental armies and bound the Old Gods
A warrior could look up them any time - and their existance and part in history is not a secret anymore, not just some archeological finds on ruins⊠they walk among us (or at least sit in their base) and ⊠well⊠exist!
But if you look for âmortalsâ and not more-or-less-gods?
Cairne, Varian, Nazgrim, Taylor, Saurfang family, Muradin, Turalyon, Jarod or Genn and Tess Greymane, Danath Trollbane, Lorâthmar Theron, Eitrigg, or ultimate ace: Lothar
Just to name a few
Also will add to mentioned before warriors - Orgrimm Doomhammer, and BlackHand.
Just a correction, It wasnât Grom Hellscream that led the Original Horde, you may have confused him with Orgrim Doomhammer? Who usurped the original position of Warchief from Blackhand.
I also remember it being written, once upon a time, that Cairne Bloodhoof was one of the most dangerous warriors when in his prime.
Unfortunatly Tauren lore still doesnât have much going for it these days.
My apologies - you are of course right. I was referring to Warcraft 3 and him being the warchief of the Warsong clan, etc. Got my wires crossed.
Well, anything that isnât Orc of Forsaken lore has been pretty stale for a while. 
Canât argue with that. But yes - definitely a dangerous and fierce warrior, but if I am not mistaken, still far more of a spiritual and grounded guy than most other warriors you could possibly name in a discussion like this. Most of them tend to be a little unhinged.
The most noticable warriors were mostly orcs and humans gtfo with Jarod Shadowsong, nobody cares about this trashcan.
Horde side:Garrosh and Grommash Hellscream, Varok Saurfang, Orgrimm Doomhammer, Nazgrim (letâs ignore the fact that heâs a DK now), Cairne Bloodhoof
Human side: Anduin Lothar, Magni Bronzebeard, Muradin Bronzebeard, Varian Wrynn, Darius Crowley, Ivar Bloodfamg
you could include Varok Saurfangâs Brother, Son and maybe niece to that list.
Brox okay, but the others arenât popular at all.
Dranosh was following his fathers footsteps and was Thralls first choice for sucessor as warchief until he was killed by the Lich-King, Thura is not that known, but she wields Broxigars Axe and proved herself a capable warrior in the âStormrageâ novel.
