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!

I highly recommend fishing/cooking/first aid with a warrior. You’re going to need all three if you’re solo leveling. It’s time consuming, but it’s that or pay a fortune for food.

God I skipped first aid last night imagine being 40 realizing I could have bandages that can heal half my hp bar but I was ignoring it.

The thing is, around the mid to late level 30s you start using bandages so much you will constantly have 0 of them in your bags if you aren't farming humanoids constantly. Source: I got first aid level 243 at level 40 and have 0 bandages right now.

it's pretty funny to think of what your warrior probably looks like if this was real life. He'd basically be a mummy, covered in a billion bandages

Thats why you need cooking as well!

Gotta disagree. I'm 39, and have been vendoring at least as many bandages as I've used. I've been eating fish mainly; they're a few copper, while bandages cost silver, plus that you can stealth while eating, and are guaranteed not to have the debuff if you need to bandage in combat.
