Campfire buffs come on top of these: sit by a campfire for a minute and each object placed around it gives its buff for an hour. The duel tournament bans them.

Stats are read from the beta client. Rankings within each slot are ours, best first, for duels and battlegrounds at the level 20 cap: weapon damage, then the main stat and Stamina. Quests marked “in Classic” come from Classic’s data: Forever may have moved their level. Seen something better on a stream or in your bags? Tell us through the note at the bottom right.

The Warrior buffs and nerfs of each beta update are in the patch notes.
