Is there a site that shows how to play the specific classes? I've mostly only played casters. I started my toon squad with a warrior as the main and I have like BASIC questions. What's a good weapon? Should I dual wield or use a shield? That basic...

That made me wonder if there's a site that has those guides easily findable... any help?

Edit: I just hit level 35 last night. Test server. Some of these responses assume I'm way higher level. Haha

Class Resources Sancus, 120 Magician <Realm of Insanity> (Updated 9/5/22) Note: Many of these guides are somewhat outdated, and class-related discussion has generally moved to class discords (linked in the table below). If you are aware of additional guides, especially those more up to date, fee...

It might help if you give us more information. Are you on a TLP? Live server? Raid guild? Group Gear? Raid Gear? Bra size? etc.
 
Use Discord. Each class has a community run Discord server and is usually the best place to get guides and information
 
A recent warrior guide posted to the class Discord server. Fucking wordy, so if you want short and sweet, this isn't it. For a 125 warrior, easy enough to downlevel skills.

Not a raid guide; group focused. And for your one specific question, dual-wield if you can handle the mobs, which once you are in current gear, you will be able to. Most warriors are almost full-time dual-wielding these days. Much higher DPS and appropriately geared warriors don't need the shield (use your own judgment on named mobs). Possibly depending on your weapons, use 2Handed if you're second tanking and do more DPS 2Handed or draw too much aggro (pulling off the main tank) with your dual weapons.

Thanks! This helps out for some of the basic questions. I'll try reading the guide to see.
 
Lots of reading here.

Although this is for progression, it may help with the lower levels more so than other resources

Question - - How to Play a warrior?

Ok so I'm about to ding 105, and I just realized I haven't played a warrior since 85 was the cap. How does one play one these days? Do I pop defender a lot or which skills do I need to use for taunting, AE taunting situations and how to handle them... that type of thing. I'm going to create a...

This is much better information for your situation. Very different game below 100 than after 100.

This is so good! As a raid tank myself I picked up some new stuff from this. This would have been so helpful 2 years ago when learning my warrior.
 


Here is a YouTube video version of the guide @Marnan posted. It used AI voices and is a bit silly but drops a ton of info. Especially core warrior skills.
