Yes to jump button. Yes to multiple apps running. Fardomar uses a sheil and Inch uses 2hander so I guess yes to that question as well.

but for pvp wise can i do a kind a shield thing for grping for pve and have some kinda hard hitting offensive like duel wield (does it hit hard?) for pvp

[Sirion]

I know a warrior that PvPs/duels with dual wield, and PvEs with a shield. He does good in pvp, and fine in pve.

[Xarkon]

whats his talent template because thats what i want to do but dont know how

[Sirion]

Doesn't matter for beta because he changes it depending on what he's going to be doing. I'm not sure how to do talents for a 1h/dw warrior except I know that getting MS would be a waste. Probably a nice mix between the few defensive talents you need (depending on if you even need that now as blizzard said they are looking at aggro management effectivity) some of the better battle talents like Anger Management or TM, and then some crap from fury. Now, I haven't looked at fury, so I don't know how good those talents really are, but I would assume that they aren't too bad.

Wow actually has a decent jump physics. That is when you're running and you jump and then turn in mid air, you don't fly the way you're turning, you keep going in the direction you were going when you left the ground. Anyhow I thought it was neat.

I found jumping to be quite kool. "Spacebar" is the default key.

The option to turn off in-game music is there... however, running WMP in the backround and NOT lagging would depend on your system i would assume.

As far as using Duel Wield or Shields, that's always possible. It's as simple as equipping which item/weaps you perfer at the time. But finding the right spec for it to maximize effectiveness is unclear to me atm. The warrior class has taken a few big hits from the nurf-bat from the last two patches. Also there are a few bugs with some of the warriors combat abilities (charge, miss-rate, weapon delay, etc etc). With that said...

Once the final talents from the Hunter and Paladin are implimented I would look for a big shakeup in the current Warrior talent trees (As well as other classes). In the final weeks, during open beta, we'll most likely see optimization, bug fixes, content polish, and a lot of skill/talent balancing. If i had to find a spec that would fit what you're asking for.. Atm I would say that a Protect/Fury build would most likely work best. (Which is viable from what I'm hearing)

how do you spec in duel wield do you just get two different weapons?

2. Can you turn the music off and run WMP in the backround and not lag

Jesus Christ. WMP will lag just about anything. Especially when switching between tracks. Use Winamp or Foobar.

Dual wield just aint that great for a warrior with the atrocious miss chance, and no talents to improve it. The only time I use it is when I want to skill up two 1H weaps at the same time.

For PVP, it's all about DPS, and right now that means a SLOW 2H weapon. Slow, because you can use Mortal Strike as an instant outside of your normal attack speed and a slower weapon will deal more damage per hit than faster weapon of the same DPS.

I think its a shitty model personally, and some of the better warriors have posted compelling arguments to get Blizzard to rework it.

For PVE, you pretty much have to go 1H/Shield when you're tanking the higher level instances.
