Thanks. At that time I was just equipping the items that added the most armor and stuff, like the shield. :D
My first character was a fury warrior, I used a shield too for a little bit in earlier levels
A shield doesn't really do a ton for non-prot specs though, it's just a dps loss
ok so the warrior, what kind of gear should i use
At low levels you'll use mail, but then you learn to use plate at <forgot what level>, and you'll want to switch everything to plate because you'll get a 5% stat bonus
As for stats, just look for strength (unless you're protection, in which case you want stam too)
As far as secondary stats (hit, expertise, crit, haste, and mastery at 80+) don't worry about it too much at lower levels, although you could look at a site like noxxic.com for later levels, but keep in mind the numbers and percents (like "you need 2550 hit rating to get 7.5% hit") is for level cap
