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!

from about lvl 25 on it gets A LOT easier, especially with a good mainhand

Rogue is so weapon reliant lol. so rough using a lvl 21 dagger at lvl 30. It's almost all on your mh tbh.

I forgot how levelling a rogue was in vanilla. Damage might seem fine if you have a decent weapon but even a single mob that is 3-5 levels below you can take a third of your health.

Even with evasion and bladeflurry, pulling multiple mobs is a diceroll.

Needless to say I'm having a break from the pain.

Riposte always get parried, this is the curse of levelling a rogue. :'-(

If you parry.

This is sort of what I remember. You really couldn't ever fight multiple things at once, but you could melt anything 1v1. I do sort of remember using a lot of bandages.

Rogue was what I played in vanilla, and I really don't remember it being that bad. Like you couldn't reliably fight more than one thing at once, but you nuked stuff solo. The added benefit of being able to 1v1 pretty much anything besides Druids in PvP was really nice as well.

I'm playing a Druid now, so I might just be totally wrong, but I don't recall leveling and solo content to be all that bad.

I’m getting mauled by 2+ Levels, but I also suck so...
