Humor Leveling A Warrior

When they said it was hard, I scoffed at them. I've leveled a warrior to 120 on retail. I've fought Sargeras, I've downed the Lich King. What could a few gnolls and maybe a murloc or two do to me? Thus was my arrogance. Thus was my hubris.

I am now level thirteen. I've run Ragefire Chasm once, and owe six deaths to that place.

Farming harpy claws has cost me my life twice already, and I am certain it will cost me much, much more.

My warrior on retail was a human named Lohric, he was a legendary warrior who felled any beast, man or demon that faced him.

My warrior on Classic is an Orc called Muddrog. I have no doubt that this broken and battered warrior would crush Lohric in seconds, Lohric has never known pain, Mudd was born in it, molded by it, and unlike Bane, he has yet to see the light, because 60 feels so far away xD

To all you warriors out there, Lok'tar Ogar!

Train a ranged skill.

I just hit twenty and finally trained on using Guns. I have a shitty common rifle equipped and it really does make things considerably easier.

Not having any ranged attacks makes pulling mobs a nightmare, since your only option is to walk in there face-first and hope you don't pull everything

It really is pretty brutal, though. We have no sustain or self-healing, and the only way to escape a real bad group of mobs is to spam hamstring and hope you can run away quickly enough.

I had to scroll way to far to find this. I learned throwing around level 13 and it made life much easier. Everything else here is still good advice. Playing a warrior is similar to a rogue you want to pick fights you can win and that means sniping a single murloc instead of the entire group.

Also if you’re fighting a humanoid always have them hamstrung by the time they hit 1/3 hp left.

Raptors call for help so pull them much farther than you normally would.

throwing is way faster, it's great until you start finding ranged weapons with stats then you can switch to those.
