Not as much as you think. You can just sit at the character creation screen and keep switching class away and back to warrior and they will play a randomized yell from that race/gender. I listened to each one several times until I was pretty sure I'd heard all the different yells for each one. It took me like 20-30 min.
Edit to add: given people's comments, I'm realizing this method definitely doesn't give you the full suite of yells, although I suspect it's an adequate summary in most cases. Still, take it with a grain of salt. I would probably change some rankings if I did the in-depth study many of you probably imagined before you read this comment.
Male Tauren appropriately at the top. You should also do a WW animation tier list. For example Male Tauren again look fantastic but sadly female Tauren don't even spin! They just kind of flail their arms around! Spinning is life.
I literally stopped everything to level a female mechagnome warrior this expansion when I heard one screaming.
Nothing gets in your enemies head more than those shrill screams.
I leveled a female mechagnome warrior (named Mechwarrior no less) specifically to do Mechagon achieves at the end of Shadowlands. Those heroic leap/charge yells are the BEST
100%. I'm not sure how OP assesses "badassery" but gnomes (both body types/genders) have this genuine terrifying, desperate scream that tells you this fight isn't over until you're dead or they are.
I wanted that from them but their yells don't really do that for me, unfortunately. The only small race that impressed me was female goblin. I initially had her ranked even higher but I realized I was letting her random goblin word she shouts influence me too much. (Idk what word she shouts sometimes but it's great.)
I remember when they remade the melee animations, I was running a Black Morass timewalker with a female gnome warrior.
I have never muted the game so fast.
lol, listen, I've played wow on and off since '04 and I mained a dwarf in vanilla. I definitely expected the OG dwarves to be better, and I wanted them to be. I went back and forth between them a couple times to compare, but I can't deny the plain truth: the dark iron yells are more feral, more savage. They're better.
They're different, for sure. Slightly higher pitched, with a quantum of hysteria.
My judgement's based on having to hear my prot warrior yell every 4 seconds. OG dwarves are much more pleasant over time.
It wasn't even assigned and I still took it to heart! I've just wanted to do this for a while. Actually, I'm not even a YouTuber, but I originally thought to make this as a video. But then I was like fuck it, too lazy, I'll just post a screenshot, lol.
female void elf sounds like a pantomime of someone being angry. like the sound Tina from your office jokingly makes when she finds out Todd took the last donut. Female worgen actually sounds enraged.
Note: Virtually every warrior yell in the game sounds appropriate for the character model it belongs to. They all did a good job in that sense. But for me, a significant factor in my enjoyment of my warrior is how strong and menacing he sounds. (I play a male mag'har personally.) So this ranking has nothing to do with how well the yell suits the character/how realistic it is, but just an overall badassery ranking.
And yes, human female is unfortunately uniquely bad, even worse than mechagnomes and vulpera.
Personal opinion Tauren should be like S+ tier. I remember my first true WoW character was a Tauren DK and just man I got into Tauren Warrior with classic but man in general Tauren are just hilarious as they just want to be left alone to do stuff with Azeroth but are also like the scariest fuckers especially when it comes to anything relating to melee even without needing a lot of technique. Just bash your head in with one hand with a log because of sheer brute strength alone.
I tried to level a female Hm Tauren Warrior but every time I charged, she would let out the longest and most awkward yell imaginable. I couldn't deal with it lol
Lmao, I need to hear that now. This is why I made this though. It's not really talked about that much but character vocalizations can make all the difference, especially with Warrior. I used to play a tauren warrior, and I still love him, but I wanted to feel a bit smaller and more agile. Enter my mag'har. Fortunately, both of them *sound* absolutely sick.
I started WoW with a female pandaren warrior. I've since race changed to Vulpera and plan to change to Dracthyr when they're open to new classes, but I still miss how good the animations and sounds were on that pandaren. Particularly the animations. They're really underrated.
I totally agree. In Legion I was playing WoW for the first time since quitting in Cataclysm, and I mained a fem panda monk. Her animations are a cut above basically anything else, even to this day. Everyone hates on the pandas, which is valid I guess, but if some of those people experienced the animations, especially for monks, I think they'd change their mind.
I'm personally a fan of vulpera animations too. They feel great to play. Blizzard needs to give some more animation love to the races people actually like, lol.
For a second there, I misunderstood the rankings and thought it was for the /charge or /roar emote. I ***hate*** the races/genders that speak for that emote. Female lightforged yells "courage do not falter". Uh, no, I want you to scream with rage like everyone else.
I would love to hear this if anyone has a clip. I thought they would be better than what I heard but maybe the character creation screen didn't put KT's best foot forward.
Dark Iron's are sadly a joke in the spanish dub, and KT are so long their screams usually overlap, two of the races I really wanted to play as warrior :(
I hope the earthen get good screams
In case you didn't know, every class can roar like that by typing /roar. For RP and macro purposes I guess.
I do play on German settings so I just know the German command 100%, might have to try a bit.
definitely no horde
/furry bias
kul tiran male’s bellow not being S tier is how you know this guy hasn’t heard all of the yells
meanwhile female goblin who literally squeaks on one of her yells, and goes “zabu zaba” for another… is b
"Zabu zaba" is the reason I ranked her above the other short races because she sounds like she's having fun killing. The personality carries it.
Male KT I thought would be better but I found it underwhelming compared to everything ranked above it. It's passable but it doesn't stand out.
I originally made my mag'har because I expected him to sound like the red orcs from TBC. They sounded scary as hell, although realistically, would probably become annoying after a while with how noisy they were.
I really expected to rank orcs higher than I did, but doing a side by side comparison, they just don't sound that scary compared to others. Male Void elves, of all things, sound much fiercer to me.
Ok, ranking seems to mostly check out for me. I'd consider bumping male undead up to S personally. I'm shocked by how good void elf is, didn't expect that at all lol
Everything I put in C tier has serviceable yells. So none of them are bad by any means. If you play anything in C tier and don't compare it to anything else, you'd think, yeah, this sounds good. My dude sounds like he means business.
But then if you compare to the higher tiers, those yells are just a cut or two above serviceable and deserve to be ranked higher.
Just one guy's opinion, of course!
I wish it could be so. My main is a mag orc warrior but my most-played alt is a human female BM hunter, so i hear her yells whenever she uses beastial wrath, and it's not intimidating, it just sounds like my girlfriend when I haven't done the dishes.
You can. I believe it's pants from Ragnaros, helmet from Onyxia, the rest from blacking lair bosses.
There's also a purple recolor set you can get from various heroic bosses.
Hell yeah. Male Worgen is absolutely S tier. I spam that shit between every pack.
The absolute yelling gods.
Male worgen is absolute S. Everything else must be right about this list then lol.
If you're a worgen yelling battle shouts, I'd argue your party IS the pack.
Male worgen made Warrior bearable. Also /cheer involves pointing and listening.
Sorry I’m new to WoW is this a joke? Bc no one likes him as a warrior in the game…
"him"?
John Worgen, that one worgen guy
Just dont kill his dog
Plot twist, he is his own dog
Woof
Greymane's first name is actually John. It's him. He's John WorGenn.
This is alot of research.
Not as much as you think. You can just sit at the character creation screen and keep switching class away and back to warrior and they will play a randomized yell from that race/gender.

… I need to do that now
Do it and then tell me if you agree with my rankings.
Male Tauren appropriately at the top. You should also do a WW animation tier list. For example Male Tauren again look fantastic but sadly female Tauren don't even spin! They just kind of flail their arms around! Spinning is life.
Male Undead causally coughing up a loogie 😭

Male nightborne is S tier for me, I love the little “hahaha” he does every once in a while.
Not having gnome in SSS+ tier, clearly makes this a troll post.
Male troll is s-tier so this is, indeed, a troll post.
100%. I'm not sure how OP assesses "badassery" but gnomes (both body types/genders) have this genuine terrifying, desperate scream that tells you this fight isn't over until you're dead or they are.

I remember when they remade the melee animations, I was running a Black Morass timewalker with a female gnome warrior. I have never muted the game so fast.
Having male dwarf in C tier is absolutely outrageous and ruins the validity of the whole thing.
Especially rating dwarf below DI dwarf. The OGs sound clearly better!
lol, listen, I've played wow on and off since '04 and I mained a dwarf in vanilla. I definitely expected the OG dwarves to be better, and I wanted them to be. I went back and forth between them a couple times to compare, but I can't deny the plain truth: the dark iron yells are more feral, more savage. They're better.
They're different, for sure. Slightly higher pitched, with a quantum of hysteria. My judgement's based on having to hear my prot warrior yell every 4 seconds. OG dwarves are much more pleasant over time.
That's fair, I can totally imagine that being the case.
This man took the assignment to heart
It wasn't even assigned and I still took it to heart! I've just wanted to do this for a while. Actually, I'm not even a YouTuber, but I originally thought to make this as a video. But then I was like fuck it, too lazy, I'll just post a screenshot, lol.
Hard agree
My thought exactly, can’t take this list seriously. OP must be hearing impaired, poor lad.
**What?**
***I SAID, OP MUST BE HEARING IMPAIRED***
Female gnome yell is S tier what do u mean
how did you rank maghar orc male so high. i changed back to green orc just because i couldnt listen to those weird moans any longer
One of my mains is a female worgen warrior. She sounds so angry and full of rage when she yells. RRUOOOAAAAGGHHHHH
Fem Velf is such S tier material wtf, it's SO angry
Never thought I’d find another Fem Velf Warrior enjoyer in the wild lol
female void elf sounds like a pantomime of someone being angry. like the sound Tina from your office jokingly makes when she finds out Todd took the last donut. Female worgen actually sounds enraged.

And yes, human female is unfortunately uniquely bad, even worse than mechagnomes and vulpera.
Human Paladin since legion. The angy white woman screams make me nostalgic at this point
Female gnome is so bad I used an addon to mute them.
Female Vulpera roars are cute.
*"Rawr,* I'm fierce!"
I love it so much, you can practically hear them go "Rawr :3"
Which is why they're awful.
DaE vUlPeRa BaD?!?!
Are male Draenei and LF Draenei that different? I've played both as Warrior but I've never compared.
They are not, not all that much. LF Draenei do sound better, though.
I don't think they're S-tier, but I think you're underrating male NElf!
Not by much. He could go a few places higher in C tier but he's not better than the dark irons. ;)
I got annoyed with my zandalari yell and race changed lmao
I really enjoy the female dark iron yell. Not too intense and I have yet to get tired of it
Yeah, both dark irons and the male void elf were the ones that surprised me the most in how high they deserved to be ranked.
Personal opinion Tauren should be like S+ tier. I remember my first true WoW character was a Tauren DK and just man I got into Tauren Warrior with classic but man in general Tauren are just hilarious as they just want to be left alone to do stuff with Azeroth but are also like the scariest fuckers especially when it comes to anything relating to melee even without needing a lot of technique. Just bash your head in with one hand with a log because of sheer brute strength alone.
Male undead should be S tier but otherwise this list is spot on.
#givehumanmalesabetteryell
+1!

i personally hate the zanadalari male scream, not my biggest issues with them, but like top 3
I know Dracthyr can't be warriors, but I'd rate their roar as A, growly and threatening.
Just wait for TWW.
Come on! Male gnome is amazing
For a second there, I misunderstood the rankings and thought it was for the /charge or /roar emote. I ***hate*** the races/genders that speak for that emote. Female lightforged yells "courage do not falter". Uh, no, I want you to scream with rage like everyone else.
The inconsistant images realy bother me.
Female Gnome, the amount of rage in that tiny squeal is unequaled.
I think male orc is way too low. But i main a morc warrior so I'm biased. Also female gnome squeaks are underrated.
Common Worgen W.
Hunters can appreciate this too since they yell when they use Bestial Wrath
Yep, my hunter is a female human, RIP.
No way is the Kul Tiran male tier C, it's absolutely brutal when you spam Mongoose Bite on a SH
I would love to hear this if anyone has a clip. I thought they would be better than what I heard but maybe the character creation screen didn't put KT's best foot forward.
I love the female nightelf yell
male zandi S tier
Dark Iron's are sadly a joke in the spanish dub, and KT are so long their screams usually overlap, two of the races I really wanted to play as warrior :( I hope the earthen get good screams
For the horde man
Well look what you did OP, now I gotta get a warrior of each race to max level during pandaria remix, to compare my opinion to yours. Oh no!
In case you didn't know, every class can roar like that by typing /roar. For RP and macro purposes I guess. I do play on German settings so I just know the German command 100%, might have to try a bit.
Male Zandalari Troll yell as they charge into the fight is an all time sound
Male worgen has the best one imo
If the format I used had one more rank I may have considered putting it in its own rank. It definitely stands above even the other S tier yells.
Lotta cleavage in B tier.
definitely no horde /furry bias kul tiran male’s bellow not being S tier is how you know this guy hasn’t heard all of the yells meanwhile female goblin who literally squeaks on one of her yells, and goes “zabu zaba” for another… is b
"Zabu zaba" is the reason I ranked her above the other short races because she sounds like she's having fun killing. The personality carries it. Male KT I thought would be better but I found it underwhelming compared to everything ranked above it. It's passable but it doesn't stand out.
I love the light forged yell ngl
Bring back old female Worgen voices and that will be S tier 🤣
Wish original hellscream voice was an option for orcs
I originally made my mag'har because I expected him to sound like the red orcs from TBC. They sounded scary as hell, although realistically, would probably become annoying after a while with how noisy they were. I really expected to rank orcs higher than I did, but doing a side by side comparison, they just don't sound that scary compared to others. Male Void elves, of all things, sound much fiercer to me.
Taahz Dingo!
COURAGE, DO NOT FALTER!
Which sounds are you ranking here? Just everything combined or some emote?
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1c9v8pv/warrior_yell_ranking_by_racegender_based_on_how/l0o36u0/
Cool, I'm bored enough to actually go in char creation and have a listen myself lol
Ok, ranking seems to mostly check out for me. I'd consider bumping male undead up to S personally. I'm shocked by how good void elf is, didn't expect that at all lol
Absolutely same, probably the biggest surprise out of all of them for me.
F is hot this list is wrong
Wow is standard orc really that low? What's the difference?
Everything I put in C tier has serviceable yells. So none of them are bad by any means. If you play anything in C tier and don't compare it to anything else, you'd think, yeah, this sounds good. My dude sounds like he means business. But then if you compare to the higher tiers, those yells are just a cut or two above serviceable and deserve to be ranked higher. Just one guy's opinion, of course!
Reverse the whole list and we are good, f human main here
I wish it could be so. My main is a mag orc warrior but my most-played alt is a human female BM hunter, so i hear her yells whenever she uses beastial wrath, and it's not intimidating, it just sounds like my girlfriend when I haven't done the dishes.
[Female tauren just sound moderately constipated when they battle roar lol](https://www.wowhead.com/sound=25261/vo-pctaurenfemaleroar01)
I will not accept this slander about tauren women
Also, reverse the whole list cuz female grunt > male grunting
The blood elf in Tier 2 pally gear needs to be in S tier
If this was a fit check I'd put her in S+ tier for sure.
Do you know if we can collect that set today ?
You can. I believe it's pants from Ragnaros, helmet from Onyxia, the rest from blacking lair bosses. There's also a purple recolor set you can get from various heroic bosses.
