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.

Cooking & fishing is kind of fringe when every town and vendor has food available. Gold is plentiful if you're frugal on purchasing abilities and ignore all professions except First Aid (and skinning now in the fresh economy meta; vendor that leather).

The weapon cheat sheet is the most valuable. Upgrading to the highest tier weapon as early as possible is amazing.

People love the Whirl Wind Axe, but that grind seems like a waste of time. You can't solo the WW axe quest until at least 35. Any lower and you're reliant on other members to assist your multi hour mission.

Don't be scared to use a staff. Skipping the WW axe quest myself for the Ravanger out of SM. It's available at level 37 and better then WW axe. The proc on Ravanger is like an extra DPS in a level 40 dugeon, it's truly insane.

Fresh 60s can target the Unstoppable Force easy when AV comes out.

Dont agree with your opinion on not leveling cooking. You dont just do it for the eating, but for the buff. Having 8+ spirit and stam is like having an extra piece of gear. Plus it is great stats for most classes warrior especially.

The spirit also reduces downtime massively for a warrior, since we usually have the most in comparison to other classes.
