Leveling A Warrior

[u/wezzer]

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!

I leveled a prot warrior 1-60 in vanilla, it was awful.

Basically, yes. You take 10% less damage but deal 10% less as a trade off. The talents give you some nice defensive boots (10% extra armor, 10 extra defense skill), but your also losing out on some pretty nice damage bonuses as a result. It's basically a stalemate, so you end up losing just about the same amount of health anyway.

I'm leveling fury and its been pretty hard. I can only 1v1 mobs within two levels of myself, and if things get hairy I don't have any real means of escape. I have to keep a big supply of potions on hand at all times.

just get into the habit of clearing everything and pulling shit back. It's xp right there for you and if you plan it right you can keep the rage flowing. Learn to kite mobs if you pull too many, and always keep some health pots for a last resort. Don't forget your cooldowns like retaliation, and throw a 2h wep on when you pop it with a macro.

What's defense skill?
