Swords
Swords are probably the most common weapon, and for that reason most warriors use them at least until they find a weapon that better suits their play style. You can find swords as loot drops, quest rewards, or even buy Alz them off of a vendor.
This is a good choice to build up if only because of the many options available to you. You’re usually more likely to get a good sword from a quest than a mace or a polearm, especially at lower levels, so go ahead and get it if you don’t have the skill already.
Axes
Axes are most common for Orcs and therefore also Trolls, but anyone can train for them if they so desire. If you’re an Orc, you may want to forgo swords completely in favor of axes, because you’ll find that especially in your lower and mid level areas, good axes are easier to come by than good swords, though there are some around.
If you’re not an Orc, think about your play style and the relevant talents that you plan to take before you decide to add axes to your arsenal.
Warriors have the great and unique position of being able to use any weapon in the game except for wands, and since your travels in Azeroth will probably bring you to a decent weapon of most types, it doesn’t hurt to build up skill in at least two weapons types, so that you can switch when you find something better than what you have.
